Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.

Walking up the lane last Thursday I noticed the duck pond was quite quiet as for some reason the ducks had chosen the second pond as their favourite of the day. It was during my walk with Freida I noticed the amount of elderberries, brambles and rosehips which were ready for picking. Our own plums are now picked and freezing ready to be made up into Christmas drinks. This week is going to be a week of picking & pottering in the kitchen as well as continuing with preparations for my exhibition……busy busy I think!
I love jams and chutneys - look forward to seeing what you do with your bounty!
ReplyDeleteYou are going to be very busy in that kitchen. ;)
ReplyDeleteI've got some chutney on the go at the moment that's got hedgerow damsons in it. And there's bramble and apple pie for tea!
ReplyDeleteAll that hedgerow foraging! I've been picking brambles from my own jungle before we try and cut it back. I just stand and eat then straight from the bushes LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning photograph of the pond! Wish I could be there...I bet your kitchen will smell SOOOOO yummy while you're doing all that work!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful silhouette photo. Just the right amount of light.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so beautiful and peaceful :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful photograph.
ReplyDeleteHope you are well.
