That looks lovely sweetpea 
Now that is what you call a long garden!! Is there a veg plot at the far end? Have some space for veg by the greenhouse which you can just see top of in pic. Do have other areas as well as this but some of the area not best suited for veg. Will be growing mainly salad stuff like beetroot, radish, lettuce, tomatoes etc. plus runner beans. Well, that's enough to feed you if we get a sunny summer this year. |

Sorry, dianthus, I am only in my early thirties, I have just had a hard life.  My granny told me about quill pens and she told me Ostrich feathers last longer because they are longer.  You said you were 64 last week.... looks like you are already on the slippery slope of old age, dai!
Me thinks goose feathers were more commonplace in Britain, especially before Stanley found Livingstone in Africa! 
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaa Your funny Dai |

Surely pith, with or without the peel is still pith? Just as peel with, or without, the pith is still peel. |

Marmalade is made with more pith than is naturally present with the peel. This is known as 'dummy' or 'albedo' when it is pulped and added to the mix along with the juicy segments and a small amount of the cooked peel.
Bet I've put you off eating marmalade now? he he

The peel for me would be Emma Peel.
Marmalade is not the same since the demise of the Golliwog. Political correctness gone mad.
