Plums

There are two little Victoria plum trees along the drive.  One has had a very generous crop and the other one hasn't done badly.  We've had stewed plums, I've got more in the fridge ready to make a Chinese style plum sauce, and of course, there's jam.

  1. Oh my mouth is watering now after seeing those Victoria Plums. They are my favourite variety for eating and I buy as many as I can during their short season.
    When I was a little girl, I used to scrump them from the Vicarage garden where the trees over hung the lane. I think I may have eaten rather too many because I used to erupt in 'heat bumps', itchy lumps in the skin. I'm glad that doesn't happen any more!

The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.
