indeed it is still hanging on. But, like that proverbial Norwegian Blue parrot, it is dead. I have to accept that it is no more and is, let's face it, it is an ex-quincelet.*But its ok, I am over it, I am already looking to next year. Next year might see the adoption of another tree, or maybe next year will be the year that I finally get a quince. I have plans to increase my prospects of getting a quince (no it is not buying some quinces and sticking them to the branches, though now I think about it......)
So, I shall decide at the year progresses. For now I shall continue to follow this tree, to shake my head at it in a disappointed fashion and to tut at it every now and again.
*with due acknowledgement to Monty Python.
Big thanks as every to SquirrelBasket for hosting the forest of followed trees.
