Patience pays off, (not that I have really been patient but....) the waiting for Quince Major to mature to quincing capabilities has finally fruited (see what I did there?). Despite worrying a little about the lack of rain for the past couple of weeks, Quince Major has provided me with the opportunity to being a quince-count.
Do you remember the Count on Sesame Street? Well that is the voice you need to imagine....
1 quince
peer closely, 2 quince
4 quinces. Yes, I found four. It is a bit like the quince-world's Where's Wally, but I think that there are four of the little chubby quincelets.
What about Quince Minor I hear you say?
someone has left a spade resting near to him, his days are numbered......
With due acknowledgement to Sesame Street and the Count
