Foraging

Cherries
Cherries

Decided to try a bit of foraging as there is so much about.  Been down to the bypass on the bikes.  Someone has been there already but several cherry trees with lots of fruit, and should be more next week too by the looks of it.  Got two Tupperware boxes (1.2 kilos) and are just discussing the merits of jam versus schnapps.  Might do jam this week and go back next for more for schnapps.  Bit dicey getting down to the trees as on a very steep slope in the undergrowth, both have lots of nettle stings now but worth it.  Looks like there will be apples too later in the year, so Neil will have to keep a look out.  Why don’t councils plant more fruit trees about the place so everyone can have a chance to pick their own for free?
