Yesterday I went to my U3A spanish language class for the first time in months.
Afterwards we usually pop into the fruit and veg shop opposite the library where the class is held, the shopkeeper remarked that she had missed me calling in these last few months.
I deducted that the reason why she had missed me was that I always bought the 'almost past it' fruit and veg she displays in a box which are sold off at a dirt cheap price and judging by the amount of produce in the box no-one else in the village must be bothered to buy them.

I got all these peppers with a couple of bruised apples thrown in for less than 50p, so you see apart from her missing me. I have missed calling in on her too.

I used to make soup or ratatouille with the bargain produce previously, I'm wondering what else I could make with them.

I was also given a bag of pears collected from a neighbour's trees,

Pear crumble anyone? :)
