I don't think I've ever seen a quince, let alone eaten one (with a runcible spoon, of course😁). Almost inedible, I think,except as a jelly/jam, which I'd love to try.

One of your best!

Whatever the problem, we are always the cause, not the wildlife.

Both beautiful. Haven't heard a song thrush locally for several years, but have several blackbirds nearby, though they haven't yet started singing. Robins (×3) have already begun displaying in a rather desultory way. The heart's not quite in it just yet!

The very best podcast. Enlighting and very funny.

Almost unbelievably had 40+ in the garden last Jan (I'm also in Surrey). None this year, and none expected☹️.
