Hi, this is the first topic I've started and I still don't know how to post in different forums, I think someone has now moved this for me. Thank you so much for replying, that is really kind of you, you've made me feel much more confident about getting a pear now. Yours is, as you say, completely gorgeous. It actually seems very white, what colour is it, do you know? Anyway, thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it x
