I'm was so excited I couldn't wait to get home and show the family this. This is my first tomato out of the poly tunnel Benjy bought me for Christmas. It's small, I know, but it heralds things to come. I can't bring myself to eat it until Pampa has seen it and he won't be home for 15 mins. I will just have to wait.

At least it's ripe unlike these antipodean tomatoes. They are so laid back they won't hurry and redden up but they are considerably larger.
