Did you say carambola? Dip in a little sugar and they are so good!

Avocados- YUM! And nuts!

Haha I like the mustache I get from eating a juicy mango!

I like the writer, SARK, and she talks about mangoes so much that at readings, fans bring her mangoes.

I like frozen grapes, myself. Call me weird.

I can sit there and eat a whole thing of preserves straight from the jar.

But oh how I long to like fruit. Alas I have some weird thing about fruit and its texture that prevents me from eating it, despite liking the taste. Citrus fruits are the worst, the texture of it in my mouth so grosses me out I gag.

There's no fresh fruits in your stores? Do you have local farmers markets?

Wow, I could never live up there. Also regarding what you wrote on the other thread about anti-depressants, have you thought about moving to the south? The reason I suggest that is because you stated that people are sad this time of year; I guess you all still have winter.

Well, we have imported fruit, no farmers markets until late May.
Why do you think I'm an artist? Sometimes I just paint strawberries so at least I have a simulation.
It's actually warmer in England than here. I was in the U.K last April and it was already summer with strawberry season. Back in New England it was still rainy and cold.

I have seriously thought of retiring to the U.K, but I couldn't live in the South since I can't take the extreme heat and it's hard to quit my work, since I am artist I have to stay in at least a regional area.

The U.K. especially Ireland has great support for artists. I am going to start subletting my place and living there for a few months a year, but it takes time you know.

Thanks, I will for now, just buy flowers.

Let me know if you visit, or plan to move to the UK, I'll give you the lo - down on some of the areas and the best place to stay.

I personally think the best is around central London for business side. So many artists live in the west-end - it's everything, all the time.. then when you visit the beautiful places, it's even more breathtaking. Thinking of taking a short break to Wales soon.

Where did you visit in the UK last April?
