The message
from Gopher contains these words:

While I have no specific description I remember one of my favourite
desserts in the BVI was Key Lime Pie - it was "citrusey", light and
luscious! It may have been made from desiccated turtle droppings for all
I know but I assumed the main ingredient was some kind of lime found in
the Caribbean/Central America area.

Ah. Someone on Granada once kindly sent me some pips, and they all
germinated. However, at the time I lived in a horrid shack on a
smallholding. Said shack was molished of two layers of asbestos sheet
held apart by a framework of woodworm holding hands, and the whole
edifice was capped with a lid of corrugated iron.

One winter, despite a fire which burnt continuously in the Parkray
stove, Jack frost sneaked inside my living room and stroked the
seedlings with his deadly fingers.

Mind you, that year the water butt - an iron barrel four feet high and
at least the same width, froze solid, dislodging all the wooden pegs
hammered into its side to make it hold water.

TAAAW, I and a lad who was staying over the holidays slept in one room,
he in his sleeping bag on the settee and I n the bed, and to keep us
warm (?) we had a 2" (circular) wick Valor paraffin heater, two paraffin
Aladdin 1" circular wick mantle table lamps AND a Tilley reflector fire
going full blast, and in the morning there was more than half an inch
thickness of ice on the inside of parts of one of the walls.
