Evening all. (that rather dates me)
I have discovered as I gallop towards my twilight years that a little tart does not quicken my heart as it used to in my dimly remembered youth !!!
As a consequence, while I sit at the garden table with my evening cuppa alfresco and my occasional hat-full of ripe,red gooseberries, I find it preferable to suck the sweet insides out of these fruits and discard the skins, lobbing them in the general direction of the flower-beds for passing vagrant...
