Well I'll make a guess as everyone else is on the beach or in a pub garden somewhere - is it by Ladywell car park?

So me and Brian both agree we're right on that one!
This isn't where but what, for a bit of a change these are four types of fruit blossom from my garden, what are they?
1 and 2 are easy but similar, 3 needs to be specific and 4 is an uncommon one.
1
2
3
4

you are both right about the bridge, will leave the new one to the gardening experts.

just got back, too much sun in the end, a few people that have been on the beach most of the day will suffer tomorrow.

at a wild guess i would say the top one was apple, the next one pear, the third possibly moreno cherry and finally quince.

Well done Howard, except I'll forgive the typo on 3 which is a moreLLo cherry

I thought the uncommon one was a quince, the fruit makes lovely jelly and pies (put in with apple)

Yes Kath, we love it stewed on anywhere you'd use rhubarb or apple.

Don't have a photo but a friend of mine was enthralled by the miniature mannequin wearing ladies unmentionables in the window.
He was very annoyed when he missed buying it in the closing down sale, it did reappear in Stuff on London Road a few years later but I figured by then he wouldn't want someone else's cast offs. (Apologies if that's too much information for Easter Sunday afternoon
)
