Big ones, little ones, some as big as your head! We went coconut hunting on the family's other farm up the hill in Islington. It was fun getting to actually collect the food we would be eating. The farm is like something out of Jurassic Park, I kept expecting T-Rex to come barging through the chest tall grass. We ended up collecting 1 and a half bags worth of coconuts, which gave us enough to have tons of drops, porridge, and curried lentils with some still left over to share!
