prompt!!!

And we're back....

Yep, once again, this is a weekly challenge. For all the newbies, remember to get you post in with a timestamp of Saturday (or earlier), I put up the new challenge Sunday morning when I wake up (although being on the west coast of the U.S., that means Sunday afternoon for many of you).

This week I will definitely have to do something separate for the prompt because this is SO not going to fit into the ending of my Out of Tune series....

Crabapple

Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crabapple) claims they're found in Europe. A park in London? Maybe? Oh God, I'm panicking here...

You have to admit they're pretty trees, and I know they're EVERYWHERE in the midwest of the U.S., but I don't see them down here in the desert.

Ooh, I just decided how I'm going to use this prompt. Thank you so much for linking me straight to Wiki, hon!

Happy to help. You'll probably manage the job far better than I am!

Hah! I dunno. I used to do prompts all the time, but right now, I can't help but think I'm a little rusty. All I can say is that I'm glad that I'm working on two WIPs, cause the idea I have just wouldn't fit with the way I've established my characters in yesterday's fic.

If its any help - it's said that apples were introduced to Britain by the Romans. And they wouldn't have had Cox's Orange Pippins in those days.... A bit of history for your histories?

Oh, evil woman! Actually giving me Romano-British history. *scowls* I'm likely to just work a damned crabapple tree in there somehow. This is not at what I had in mind!
