As you know Evesham is well famous for it's plums .........
...... and yesterday, I decided to inspect the trees on the bank, outside our window, to see if our trees had yielded, this being the season of le plum ......
...... but more than enough to supplement our rigid 5 a day routine for free, over the next few weeks, which has to be a bonus. They are small, perfectly formed, sweet and flavoursome, what more can a forager ask?
I suppose, it goes without saying, that the particularly tempting looking plums, in full flush as it were, are up high and/or out of reach on the steep bank, I'll try level best to reach as many as I can, but what I can't, without putting myself in peril, I'll leave for the birds.
We all love this time of year, especially Eric, who never fails to come home without a little something plucked on his way back from the school run. I don't suppose the blackberries will be too far behind, Darrell is already thinking about clearing a bit of space in his carefully curated freezer to accommodate a crumble or two!! What are we like?
