An enjoyable early Autumn walk this afternoon, in one of my favourite places. I never tire of the view from this hillside, and with Edinburgh Castle on the western horizon and light shining along the Firth of Forth, I went in search of damsons. They are there, but not quite ripe enough to collect today. I'll be back though! Delicious little flavour-packed plums and far too good to miss. I have been looking forward to picking them all year!
If Radio 3 can launch their Christmas carol competition for budding amateur composers, I can definitely post this photo without apology. I will definitely be back for these ripening berries - if the birds don't beat me to it between now and mid-December!
Oh wow...beautiful berries. Damson Jam? or some Damson gin? Yum.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy. I am using the glut of lemons and oranges at the moment to make - lemonade, lemon curd, lemon barley water and bases for hot toddies.
Love to you
