The Pear

24/09/2026

In thinking what to play today from front to back I went down memory lane, back home to The Netherlands of the 1990’s. Boys from the country town of Ermelo elevated their high school band to become the countries biggest indie band. They opened for the Smashing Pumpkins on their UK tour and made a small number of fine Albums.

Today we will play Spring, their latest Album from 2024. Recorded after a 20+ year hiatus.

We are feeling it this morning. Sunny skies and mild temperatures: Once Up On A Summertime!

The 1958 album by Blossom Dearie is our back-to-back listen today. Take a moment to drift away with Blossom to places and temperatures of times past.

NEW SOUP!

We’ve got a big pot of roasted cauliflower soup on today, with some pretty good cheddar and mustard croutons on top. 🧀

the croutons ARE the best bit!

🌸 SPRING HAS SPRUNG AT THE PEAR!🌸

And with it comes a brand new toastie…

Our Zucchini Melt is packed with zucchini, feta, fresh mint & lemon, all melted together on crispy sourdough.

Fresh, zesty, cheesy and bloody delicious.

As Martin so eloquently put it…

“Yumo.” 😂

We’ll take that as a 5-star review.

Come and give it a go! 💚
