The rain thrashed against the house last night and the wind was checking all our belongings in the garden!
No bike ride today , just a walk around Hannahston reserve..with a 2 litre ice cream box and two carrier bags..just in case...
We nearly filled the box with blackberries, half filled one bag with elderberries and rowanberries and found a kilo of windfall apples for the second bag.
At least now I know a good local clean source of blackberries!
Rain stopped play so we returned for lunch and Pirate rode his bike on the turbo trainer indoors and I made fruit cheese.
Now we are watching the Vuelta on TV..and trying to find inspiration for supper!
A very profitable day.
ReplyDeleteStorm preserves.
ReplyDeleteYum.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good time for a bit of sausage and cheese. And some BLACKBERRY CORDIAL AND VODKA!
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy! We have a lot blackberries on our property. They are always ready to pick in July when it's so hot outside. They are tasty, but I am not a fan of the seeds.
