We have 2 wonderful families either side of the house - the mums are sisters - and they have their own smallholdings. Very often the kids will come and say "Mum says is there anything you need" or they'll just turn up bearing goodies. These were "a few" eggs they sent - I think there 30 odd, and they were followed a few weeks later by another enormous bagful.
Then it was a bowlful of the most delicious peaches ever - all just picked for us
Followed by freshly picked strawberries, which tasted like strawberries, not like the watery tasteless rubbish you get in the UK
You are so very lucky to have wonderful neighbours like that, bit of a change to the braindead, self centered idiots you live next door to here in England, eh?
ReplyDeleteOh, and those peaches and strawberries, YUM, they look delicious, my mouth is watering now.
We are very, very lucky with the neighbours. Even the local police who dealt with the burglary last year say we've got wonderful neighbours (I think their kids all go to the same school!). One hell of a change from here, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteI've never tasted peaches like it - but I did notice that the trees are actually in the chicken coop. That might have something to do with them being well fertilized :-)
