Guest Magwitch Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I've been eating walnuts all afternoon from the tree on the railway bank opposite where i work they're small but nice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 1,875 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I got a good haul at the weekend which went part way to making up for the lack of rabbits because of the myxy but mine were generally small too; now I'm sure there's the potential for a smutty joke here somewhere!

Simoman 110 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Dipped in sugar sounds good Jim, don't like roast chestnuts much, a bit to dry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
