A delicious tale Fiona, and congratulations on your next book, you write so beautifully, capturing the essence of our Tasmanian lives. You might have inspired me to try making quince paste too :)
Hello Fiona, I hope you are finding ways to continue to write about live on our beautiful Isle. Your writing has been a big inspiration for me. Tahr care, Kate
Loved this Fiona, love all your writing and am looking forward to buying and reading Apple Island Wife 3 when it’s ready 🥰
You made it sound so lovely, but quince paste has always been in my “life’s too short” category, despite loving kitchen puttering and pottering and slow cooking. Slightly tempted to try it next season now🤔
Thanks Linda, I’m glad someone’s still reading me! I know what you mean about quince paste being all too hard. We haven’t had fruit from our tree for a couple of years because it’s had cherry slugs. I’m not sure what I’d do if we got a crop now… 😝
Same scenario here re cherry slugs😤 I keep intending to plant wormwood at the base of the tree in the hope of evicting them. Heard from someone that it works well!

What a lovely comment thank you Kate! I’ve been wondering about giving up writing and/or publishing recently but comments like this are encouraging!

I haven’t heard of that one but you never know. We used to have Guinea fowl which are great for keeping garden pests away.
Ha! Guinea fowl are the possible, also now missing link, in our current tale of woe with cherry slug. Thank you!
