"They dined on mince, and slices of quince"

Fairly quiet day today. We went in for coffee and picked up our train tickets for Edinburgh, getting close now. I then cleared Poundland of bird food and we went home for lunch, toasted sandwiches not bird food!

After lunch we trimmed some of the branches of the Quince tree which is heavy with fruit. We harvested the fruit off those branches and are taking a load up to our friends in Derby tomorrow as Liz is a bit of a jam making whizz.

I watched the Scotland South Africa rugby this afternoon and, after making a pasta bake for tea, we are now settling down for the England match.
