Had a lovely bicycular bimble this afternoon. Dropped off a magazine at a friend's place, then rode to the community orchard. The greengages aren't quite ready - although I found one that *was* ripe, and scarfed it. Bloody delicious. Picked a few to pop in the fruit bowl to ripen. But another plum tree did have fruit that was good to go, so I filled a tupperware to bring home. I shall be making plum crumble tomorrow, methinks.
The filberts were a bit of a bust. Lots on the ground, but this (the wood, and the orchard for that matter) is a place where I won't pick off the ground because the area is very popular with dog walkers. For obvious reasons, really.
Found some onions in the verge on the way home, so lobbed those into my pannier as well. Takes the sting out of having paid £1 for three onions in the Co-op the other day.
The cat is fast asleep, so shall wait till she asks for food. And in the mean time, it is time to feed me.
