The jam is delicious!

But sadly didnt stay yellow like the plums - a nice orangy-red tho

Thanks :) The trees didnt have thorns and were probably escapees from a nearby garden as there was at least one large one in there alongside some apple trees Someone else has suggested they might be Mirabelles Will have to visit the tree in blossom time to see if that helps in the identification! Th...

Yeah, sorry, i should have mentioned the size!

They are about the size of a cherry tomato - and are sweet enough to eat raw

We picked about 8 1/4 pounds of these small sweet greeny-gold plums today (and left many more on the tree, so might go back again another day!)

Are they greegages?
Or if not, what are they?

mine is Marmalady.co.uk

Are all wild apples Crabapples? With permission, we picked some apples from a wild tree in a farmers field. They are very small, round green with a reddish tinge They have made the most wonderfully coloured clear jelly. Great flavour too So when i sell it, can i call it Crab Apple or should it be Wi...

My long weekend in London included lots of eating with the result that i have gained a few pounds :( Its Mum's birthday today, so are taking her out for lunch Tomorrow the diet begins again in earnest! Need to get back under the 11 stone that i finally managed a few weeks ago! Hopefully as the extra...

Up again this week -- thanks to a lovely birthday meal out last night! we are also going out for lunch today and later in the week will be off to London for a few days for more celebrations -- so i dread to think what next weeks weigh-in will be like!! However -- i shall enjoy myself and not worry t...

I'm yo-yoing around the 11 stone mark

Need something to kick-start the downward trend again

Good luck Bob -- if all goes according to plan you should be able to enjoy Christmas without feeling too guilty!

Why only 94?? My Mum ( still a reasonably fit 88 yr old) has always had ambitions to live to 100 - i remember her saying that when i was a little kid My Aunt (Mum's sister) is much more ambitious -- she plans to live to 124 to become the oldest woman ever recorded -- by which time I too will be over...

Last week's 2 lb gain has gone again this week :)

Now 11 stone again -- still hoping to lose some more

There is no rule everyone is different! It will all depend on your general health, your activity levels throughout life, your attitude etc About 20 yrs ago, in her early teens, my daughter went through a phase of not eating properly - and nothing i could say would change her attitude untill one day ...

Am defintely not happy with my scales this morning!

They say I have gained 2 lb this weekend

Not a happy bunny!!

Another pound down this week :)) I am now just on 11 stone -- yayy!!!

Time to adjust my target from "under 11 stone" to "under 10 stone" !!

Hope it doesnt take me another 18 months ofups and downs to reach it this time!

Maybe i should aim for 10 1/2 stone by Christmas ?

No change again this week
