So this is the dream: a little country house in the countryside somewhere outside of Algiers or in Carmarthenshire, Wales.
If that little country house happened to be in Algeria then add a couple of sheep, a few chickens, some fruit trees like fig, apricot, lemon etc, maybe some vines and I'd be a very happy bunny; I really am a country gal at heart. :)
We went for a late afternoon drive at the weekend, that beautiful part of the day when the sky is a rich blue and the sunlight falls on the trees and fields in such a way as to intensify the greenness.
We drove past green valleys, apricot groves, fields of grape vines...
Fields of tomatoes:
Beautiful scenery:
Prickly pears that just seem to grow wild at the road side:
They are just coming into season; they need to take on an orangey tinge on their skin before they are ready. The ones in the photo are still too green:

Assalaamu alaikum,
The fruit and veg in Saudi aren't great so it makes a nice change I tell ya!
MW: Haven't been posting on the forum as that particular one won't open for me. :(
Salam aleikum.. I have a question.. wat do thoe prickly pears taste like? and how are they eaten?
thanks !!
Assalaamu alaikum
They taste very sweet and nice Anisah although the pips are quite hard. You have to peel them with a knife and preferably wear heavy duty rubber gloves because those prickles are NASTY!
Aaaah! We can get the prickly pears here too, but I've never tried them. I'll have to give them a try!
