I have just eaten my first date of the season.

The tree below my office window has ripened very early this year so the locals arranged to harvest some and passed them around.

Yellow, brown on one end, very sweet and slightly crunchy. Absolutely heavenly.

Death Valley returns next week

The BBC has announced series 2 of Death Valley hits our screens Sunday, May 17 on BBC One at 8:15. Timothy Spall and Gwyneth Keyworth return as retired actor John Chapel and disarming Welsh detective sergeant Janie Mallowan. I quite liked series 1 and this will fill a Death in / Beyond Paradise gap in the schedule for me.

What we know about Death Valley series 2

From the announcement:

Series two picks up a few months after the events of series one, Janie has been promoted to Detective Inspector and is busier than ever, with paperwork stacking up quicker than she can clear it. To make matters worse, she’s been ignoring John since finding out he’s been dating her mum. Janie’s hand is forced after a murder in a Community Payback group when DCI Barry Clarke forces her to bring John Chapel in as the department’s consultant.

Series two sees John reluctantly re-enter the world of acting, on the set of an epic Welsh fantasy TV series, when the pair are called to investigate a murder. Will this foray into his old thespian passion ignite something once forgotten in John? One thing is certain, whether investigating a murder in a coastal fishing village, a sustainable commune or the competitive world of rugby, John and Janie will continue to bring justice to mid-Wales.

The cast also includes Alexandria Riley (Helen Baxter), Steffan Rhodri (DCI Barry Clarke), Melanie Walters (Yvonne Mallowan) and Rithvik Andugula (DC Evan Chaudhry). To get you in the mood, here’s a trailer:
