Scrumped goseberries

Scrumped gooseberries
 Fruit in the 1950s was, I think, mainly what was in season in the UK. Certainly my memories of Hillside was that fruit mainly consisted of apples from the orchard in the autumn. As I explained to my next door neighbour the other day when she caught me grabbing a couple of her wild plums, scrumped fruit always tastes better. Certainly the gooseberries I liberated from Mr Milton’s garden patch were always delicious.
