Other times Hartford Castle came up

  1. I don't know how many oranges and or lemons there were but he went to Hartford Castle as almost a bit like a holiday home kind of thing so he wouldn't have been there for the whole time so it would have been for a shortish amount of time he would have been eating these oranges and lemons.
