    “Do you know what I hate?” he asks suddenly.

    "I hate this ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ business.”

    “I’m scared for the future, I’m scared of global warming, I’m scared for my grandkids, I’m scared there’ll be no elephants in eight years, I’m worried about becoming an isolated island when we come out of the EU. I’ve stopped watching the news – I can’t see any more kids being blown up in Syria.”

    “If you say anything about Brexit today people tell you you’re a traitor. Those that didn’t vote for it are meant to just shut up. No! I like to tackle things. Don’t tell me to keep calm.”

    Dovefromabove "Our espalier Concorde gave us two dozen pears like this one this year, in only its second year of fruiting. I would have thinned them but I had a broken foot and the tree got left to look after itself and did very well, thanks to the damp summer."

    moral of the story: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away... but a broken foot brings lovely big pears".

    Heard the one about the doctor's wife who went on a week's holiday?  She left seven apples beside the au pair's bed....
