It is the season to gather rose hips. The hedgerows are full of them.

It was a cheap product that was available during the War and thus tapioca pudding became a favourite cheap and nourishing thing to fill up hungry children. My mother used to flavour it with Apricot Jam, other boys mothers used other jams as I recall.
Jam? During the Crimean?  rubschin:
