On Bank Holiday Monday we were at the Pershore Plum Fayre. The five varieties of plum we took went down a storm with the large crowds which flocked to this event. It is good to see people willing and indeed wanting to try the more unusual varieties which are not found in the shops. This year our Merton Gems ( a really good eater, equal to if not better than the Victorias) and Burbanks (excellent for jam making as well as eating) were particular favourites.
