Market Place in Hitchin this morning at its best.
If you visit the post box knitted topper, there is a QR code to make a donation to Hitchin Choices (a youth club for children with special needs) or you can make a cash donation (as I did) at the Visit Hitchin office nearby.

I was told there are lots of hazelnut trees on the lane by my local nature reserve, but that animals (probably squirrels) are taking most of the nuts. I found another tree on a footpath near a housing estate where there are lots left. I expect the local cats keep the squirrels away from this one.

Here are some more common (possibly Conference) pears. These are on a tree in Hitchin town centre. However, I suspect of the thousands of people who walk past it each week, most have no idea the fruit is there.

Worth looking up on footpaths. Here are some figs that might be missed.
