| Our two almond trees, planted this spring, have a few nuts on them. I
tasted fresh almonds once only, in Crete and I'm hoping ours will taste as
wonderful. Does anyone have experience of this or will they not ripen in
English weather?

Given the super summers we've had for the past couple of years, you
never know.
You know the Greek for 'almond' don't you... amygdala! ;-)

No, I didn't know that! It was in Crete that I once and only tasted that
delicious milky flavour of ripe almonds. Never learned the name for them,
though.

Yes, delicious aren't they...one of the many reasons why I chose it
for my e-mail address... my _actual_ address was another... ;-)

But they do! When I was a boy I can remember walking along a road to
school which was lined with almond trees. In the season we would
"scrump" the almonds and eat them.
