Foraging

I love that late summer fade as blooms become tired and give way to fruit. Yesterday I walked all the field margins looking for blackberries - they are barely ripe up here in the wind. Disappointed I head back to the garden where I remember the cobnuts apples and plums. Mr.Lane loves cobnuts and I?

.....love crumble. This one is Apple and plum with a dash of blackberry!

Jammy and crunchy!

  9. I didn't realise you picked cobnuts when they are still green. We've got a hazelnut bush and I've always left them to ripen - and then they've disappeared before I've got to them. Can you eat them straight away?

  10. Do you know - for all the years I have lived here I have never tasted a kentish cob - whey hey!

    Not to my knowledge anyhow.

    Have a beautiful weekend Sarah,

  13. that looks and sounds delish, we usually go blackberrying in late august or early sept. I love making jam with them and any leftover get put in a crumble.
    Love your blog

  16. Thanks so much for your comment. Ah, Charlie Mouse! (to be said in a very high, squeaky voice) - I love him. I have one actually - he plays the 'we will mend it' song when you press his tummy.

    Yeah, I'm okay - nice of you to ask. But tired, but fed up with the grind of retail. But tired of being broke. Wish I was more successful business woman type!

    I love your Emma Bridgewater oven gloves on the post!

    We may be getting goats in near future - two or three. Mike says we should call them Emma, Cath and Laura after the 'holy trinity' of Bridgewater, Cath K and Laura Ashley. Haha.

    I quite fancy Mary, after the Secret Garden. Also my mum's name :)

    Love Charlotte
