[kitchen cottage]

I have half an acre front paddock. It used to be an orchard but over the years all the trees have been taken down until I am left  with an old apple (desparately in need of pollarding) and a scrub apple. 
 
My two treats to myself this year are
 
1. a learn to paint holiday and
2. some trees for the paddock.
 
I put a quince in 3 years ago and its just starting to take off.
 
I would like small fruit trees that are fast growing and that I will be able to pick.  Or I need to buy them as bigger trees.
 
Whilst the quince tree has taken off, a victoria plum I planted near some hedge plums is a pathetic twig still.
 
I live in essex on badly draining soil but this area isn't waterlogged in winter.  I have my lovely sheep on it now.
 
Any advice or website recommendations would be very gratefully received.

Hiya, we had great service last year from Adam's Apples, so I'm sure they'd see you right (yes, you really can phone up and speak to Adam, and he's really helpful!).
