I've just eaten some blackberries, raspberries, strawberries & blueberries from the garden - I really enjoyed them until I looked in the plastic tub and saw lots of tiny maggots... *feeling queasy*Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Oh dear - think of it as protein! (That's what my mum would say!).
Hopefully they dropped off into the bottom of the pot before you ate the berries.

I thought of you today - I was going to have half an hour in the garden reading, instead I went for a brisk walk. Thanks for inspiring me.

Oo-er ... my partner used to eat salad when he was driving us home, and one day he looked at the radish he'd bitten into, and found *half* a maggot. Very not good!2023: the year I get to buy a car0
