Time of year

Probably my favourite time of year at the moment .Natures bounty at its best and tastes to rival any foreign cuisine .

Love blackberries and apple either a crumble or on cornflakes cold ,ice cold milk .

 

 

Few fallen apples and we away

Truly is a good time of the year mate. Just made some Sloe gin and some Wild Plumb Gin little tiny plumbs growing down by the river. Got some Black Berrys and scrounged some Brambly Apples from a neighbour so will be joining you with a bit of crumble. My favourite time of the years as well. ate.

Cheers Arry

Thats what I do Mick. As long as you pick them when they are ripe, should feel like a ripe plumb to the touch. Atb.
