I've still got a couple of jars left from last year, but will make some more again this year anyway.

I did learn the hard way that it's best not to drink too much wine while potting up though.........took forever to clear up all the sticky spills

We're nearer to Spain than you are though. They may not have made it up the M4.

I spotted some in the Unicorn in Chorlton just before New Year. Is this the furthest North they have been sighted?

Could well be. We need a map where people can post sightings, a bit like the phenology network has.

I had a look in the supermarket last night while I popped in for some milk. No Seville, but a surfeit of oranges from Argentina, Peru and Chile.

I did make some Marmade in September - does this give me half a point or a negative point?
