The Pineapple

This is the Pineapple which is a National Trust property quite near us. The grounds are great for dogwalking.

May I add that the pineapple ( the fruit!) has been very helpful in our lives.
Seven years ago John was very ill with ulcerative colitis and had to be admitted to hospital . On returning home he started eating pineapples and drinking pineapple juice on a daily basis. This seemed to aid his recovery and control his symptoms. It was not until much later that we found out that pineapples are nutritionally packed members of the bromeliad family. They are high in the enzyme bromelain and the antioxidant vitamin C, both of which play a major role in the body's healing process. I am pleased to report he is still doing well.
