I was in the New Forest on Tuesday, we ended up in a little village called Romsey in the Test Valley, Hampshire.
Apparently, they have world famous tomatoes.
I have never heard of them, have you?

My nurse Gillian's grandad was butler to the wealthy philanthropist John Joseph Crosfield, of Embley Park, a country house near Romsey
Grandad was with the family from 1900 to 1956.
I dunno anything about Romsey Tomatoes, although there is a hydroponic enterprise at nearby Houghton.
If you are ever in that area you must stop at the JOHN O GAUNT pub.

JabberwockyBY LEWIS CARROLL
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
