We have/had 2 fig trees and shared our figs with friends, but it looks like the Arctic Freeze we had has killed them both... and possibly our Bay Leaf tree also. (Trees look dead, but there is some green growth at bottom - possibly roots survived). By the way, we have a French neighbor who is very nice. His name is Phillipe and used to be a policeman in France.

When Rainier cherries are available, I buy them as often as possible, but they disappear quickly! They are a pale yellow with a spot of blush on them. Sweet and delicious, although not for baking.

Asda best avoided. Though you can bag three tins of chick peas for a pound before you flee the place.<br /><br />Tesco? Mixed bag. So So. Waitrose do have fresh meat and fresh fish counters. Both of them excellent. M&S strong on cheese. Oh, my god, Cro, Cheese. And strong on vegetables and bread. Vegetables? Fruit? Cherries? Great. <br /><br />I dare say that in Brighton you will have access to proper fish mongers (as I do here - a dream come true) and Farmers' Markets. Both of the - see taking out another mortgage above. Price of food simply gone through the roof. Other than loss leaders like disgustingly cheap chicken and pork.
