Picture of the Week: #40

Only slightly late this time...shortly after I complained that Harvest doesn't have much meaning any more, a friend of the family went and provided us with a huge basket of apples from their fruit trees. This joins the vast pile of fruit in our house, provided by another gracious benefactor.

It's definitely a good idea to try and grow your own food, even if we no longer have to Dig For Britain - apart from anything else, it's difficult to argue against getting given free food. Especially when it's an inanimate object such as a tree doing the giving. Apart from the financial benefits, and the health ones, it's also great therapy for megalomaniacs. Seriously, how else are you going to live out your crazed power-trip fantasies, other than standing out in your garden howling "Even the trees bow down to my mastery! TREMBLE, O EARTH, for I have dominion over you!"

OK...maybe that's just me...
