Interesting, Stephen,  your veg collection reminds me of the marked outside Quito, Ecuador. There you could get all kinds of tubers. I got a taste when we were invited to dinner at a local Andean family.
Monkey Puzzle trees regularly set nuts here. Yours look more like a Cunninghamia!

The green Ullucos were actually bought on a market in Bolivia by a guy in Trondheim. He gave them to me on a garden visit telling me that they were a kind of potato, grown in Bolivia as a delicacy. I didn't eat them the first two seasons, suspicious of the edibility of a green primitive potato which I thought they were. I finally found out they were Ulluco in the Basellaceae (related to Basella alba, Ceylon Spinach) - I immediately saw the familiarity of the leaves when I was told...

Re- Monkey Puzzle: Well spotted! It's not actually real Monkey Puzzle, but Araucaria angustifolia from Brazil; I was sent the seed by a guy in Sao Paolo some years ago....

It all looks good to me Stephen, but what pray is the guitar? Can just see the headstock and the fretboard.

Species guitar? Love it !!!!
Yes, I'm familiar with Tanglewood......and so is Maggi obviously. Didn't know you played Maggi.
I guess there are a lot of musicians on the Forum. Maybe we could do a Christmas recital next year? ;D

 I don't play, Alan.... keep getting my fingers caught inthe strings..... but Ian sold a Tanglewood to buy a Takamine..... we are both fond of all musical intruments and are mildly geeky about guitars and banjoes!
