Tomorrow sees us travelling down to the Land of My Fathers for the last week of meteorological summer. Apart from a couple of things we’d like to do we have very little
planned.
Don’t expect another blog for a little while.

Today's domestic goddess schedule: bath; load
washer; dishes; mow lawn; bring in and hang out washing; take blackberries to
neighbours as we have lots and lots.
Bess Cavalier I've got a similar itinerary, including collecting the
cat from his holidays. The calendar at work lists this as 'holiday leave'?!
Blackberries? Ours
are still green and show no signs of ripening. Captain Cavalier goes and checks
them every day - it's about the only job he will do in the garden, pick the
blackberries.
Bentonbag It's what comes of having a wild/neglected garden and a
pet entomologist. Also we have a cultivated thornless one (have forgotten the
name!) which is the most rampant thing I've met but has thumbsized and very
tasty fruit. It's growing next to the fence with the tomato and courgette tubs
next to it so it gets all the nutrients that run out of the bottom when we
water them. Himself has been picking blackberries from there, and the
hedgerows, for a month or so. Hugh Fearnly-Whittingstall's currant sorbet is
simple and works for blackberries too - especially if you add a slug of a
friend's home-made blackberry wine.
Darklady Sounds divine can you spare a few Blackberries for me? x
Bentonbag Come and
get 'em - frozen or pick your own.
Darklady I'll pick my own if you don't mind thanks. Are you still
opposite the shops near the Tesco garage. What's the street & number
please? x
Bentonbag I'll message you.
Fester says the
blackberry is called Loch Ness, which explains the monster fruit.
Drummerman
do you want some?
Blackberries that is ....
Drummerman Yes please. Would you like any apples? We've got a bumper crop, although I can't give
you crabs this year.
Bentonbag We've got some lovely red crabs of our own coming along
but yes please to your apples too as our Ferretfingers loves the jelly.
