I'll answer on Sue's behalf DD  ::) :lol:

I have one straw which is blushing at me, can't wait to taste it.  Its a whopper.

Ooops, sorry Sheila, used to work with a Sue Clarke and brain got mixed up!

We've just had two good pickings and they're really tasty. With my usual sense of timing I'm off on a break for 9 days from tomorrow just when it looks like they will peak! >:(
