An ongoing commentary by the anonymous I about that rumbunctious rapscallion, Colonel Reginald R. Farquhear, Royal Camel Corps (rtd.) whose trials and tribulations are found in 'The Travel Journal of Colonel R Farquhear 1886-1911', and including occasional commentary and repartee by the Colonel himself.

The Colonel and Granny Smith

The Colonel: "I must say I can remember nibbling on some juicy Granny Smiths in my day I can tell you. And many were often a cross between crabby French ones and Cleopatras. Very feisty, erm...what's that??!!"
I: "I think you might find we're talking about apples here, Colonel!!"

The Colonel: "Oh...yes...ahh, apples...yes, quite right, yes. Still they were rather feisty as well I remember (ahem)."
