Tis the season for citrus and colds


Yesterday I was out and about with the other half getting out of the house and we stumbled across a tree laden with Mandarins - because it was on a property owned by the company he works for we were able to pick a few to take home with us and enjoy for morning tea. Because it's winter here right now citrus fruit are coming into season including lemons and oranges.


Something else in season right now are Camellias - this one I spotted next to the Mandarin tree, so nice to see some colours at this time of year. As for me I'm stuck with the flu at the moment and had to rebook a job interview I had for today to next week so I hope the rest of you have a great day :-)

I hope you get better soon. Two of the family on the farm are down with colds, so I'm saying my prayers it stays away from me. You need to find a lemon tree now!

It would be nice to have the citrus trees so close to home. I love the blossom. I hope you feel better soon! Enjoy your week ahead!

I like the idea of eating oranges straight from the trees!

Su-sieee! Mac said...

Yum, mandarins. Citrus are popping on our side of the hemisphere, too. I used to think of them growing in cool temperatures. Best wishes on feeling well soon.

Sorry to read about your flu, but hopefully the mandarins will fix you up. I didn't know Camellias were in season. Oddly, I noticed ours today, and was surprised to see them flowering now.

Christmas memories

  B decided to put up our Christmas tree last week then he discovered that some of the lights don't work so he ordered some more online....
