Local interest: a short piece on the mazzard trees of Landkey. Mazzards, apparently, are often thought to be a type of cherry, a wild cherry even. But, as the local on TV said: “there’s cherries and there’s mazzards. And that’s the difference.”
Monty Don was chitting his potatoes, so I have good company.
No digging this weekend as I’m off to visit my parents in Hampshire. It’s a week off work from Monday, so the fork and spade come out.
