After a lovely day on Wednesday, the weather turned murky with mist and fog in the morning only slowly clearing, leaving the afternoon dull and cloudy.<\/p>

Temperature & Rainfall Records 02-08 November 2020<\/figcaption><\/figure>

On Saturday there was very little difference between our daytime high temperature of 7.1\u00b0C (44.8\u00b0F) and night time low of 5.2\u00b0C or 41.4\u00b0F.\u00a0<\/p>

I always think of our quinces as being the last fruit of the season. This year they were picked at the beginning of October.<\/p>

\"\"They are a little bit different from all our other fruit in that they cannot be eaten raw.\u00a0 The fruits only soften on cooking and are delicious added to apples or eaten on their own. However, we do have another fruit, growing on a tree in the garden, which is still to be picked.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

These are medlars and the fruits are still very firm. The fruits have to blet before they can be eaten. I’m not sure whether the fruits are best left on the tree for this to happen or whether they should be removed and stored inside until they soften. I’ve read that once softened the fruit tastes a little bit citrusy but to be honest, we’ve never got that far. I find it very difficult to tell difference between bletting and rotting. Maybe I’ll give them another week or so on the tree before deciding what to do.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
