Ours are totally tasteless, even when ripe. Normally they are packed slightly under-ripe to allow for transport (they come from the south) and are woody in texture. It's no use keeping them to ripen - they mysteriously go rotten overnight. This morning in the supermarket the first of the tourists were snapping up the kilo packs, and I wondered if I should say something, but decided not to spoil their obvious pleasure.<br />The photo of Sophie with her muddy paws is delightful - she looks like a very mischievous puppy!<br />The location of the hotel is spectacular, but realise, if the video is anything to go by, I'm just not glamourous, or young enough, to go!Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-46296255168491071352021-05-29T15:29:55.636+02:002021-05-29T15:29:55.636+02:00Trading trees for a garage - such a loss.

I had the pleasure of receiving strawberries that taste like true strawberries this season and I remembered why they were my favorite fruit as a child.Maudiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349401508545922043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-55760533086591270222021-05-29T10:30:26.771+02:002021-05-29T10:30:26.771+02:00Do savour those Gariguettes.

I wonder how many of their guests are Russian. The coastline around Kotor must be one of the most spectacular in Europe. (And also the most challenging, if experienced on a bicycle. And that's even before we think about Montenegrin driving habits...)<br />Cheers, Gail.

We have wonderful strawberries in Japan - they were a complete revelation to me coming from America - and I wondered whether there might be a connection. It seems, however, that what we have are "Dutch strawberries" that have been cultivated in Japan since the 1840s. Lisa in Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06080757130655335246noreply@blogger.com
