G brought a bagful of peas today. She was later rather disturbed to discover that I don't have a freezer and shall be eating a main meal of peas for the next three days.
I had a momentary qualm about eating anything from her land since she told me how to get rid of the anthills by the cherry trees (hills? more like tower-blocks!): her instructions were to go to the ironmonger's in St Fort and buy arsenic and put some in water and pour it over the anthills. That's what she does. I'm still mindboggled.
They were very tasty, though (the peas, not the ants). Afterwards I made pancakes with an egg from her chickens, and had them with lime. Then I made lime cordial with the rest of the lime. The kitchen smells wonderful.
