Next door’s damsons are nearly ready. One of their trees hangs into our garden and they always let us pick plenty. Jam and crumble hear I come! I’ll give them a plate of my lavender biscuits in return. Happy days. Blackberries and Hawthorns are ripe so off picking soon.

Re: Indefensible Food Wealth !

Well done, Jansman. I have serious garden and rabbit envy. My hubby won’t let me keep food rabbits I’ll have to get an allotment that allows them.
