What the heck?

Busy day today. I was called in for emergency childcare duty this morning for Amy and Chris’s children, and I had a full on morning. At home we are having a new boiler and it’s bedlam. Graham came home from a trip to Southampton with these strange looking things. They are apparently Barbary Figs from Italy. Otherwise known, it appears, as prickly pear. They taste a bit like water melon.
