I've posted on the kitchen board about a neighbour handing me in a bag of kumquats this morning.
This is the same lovely neighbour who, when we'd not been living here too long, was talking to Don about her pear tree and Don was telling her we had a pear tree in our garden and that it had produced a huge amounts of pears.
Don then went on to ask our neighbour if she'd had alot of perros from her tree.
Cue neighbour looking at Don most oddly: he'd accidentally asked her how many dogs she had on her tree!!
Pera = pear
Perro = dog.
