One morning this week I noticed that one of the fig trees we see on our morning walk was covered in rich, ripe figs. As we’ve learned from experience, picking figs is a sticky job, particularly if we’re popping our…

I found this photo of Ian and Basil when I was looking for something. No wonder the little old ladies used to cross themselves when they first saw Basil! This reminded me of how he would squeeze into the most…
