What your plan for these?

Jam or more specifically jelly. Probably straight crab apple jelly and crab apple and blackberry jelly.

Any ideas @Fagan_ODowd? The auld fella was halfway up the tree when I came in the drive earlier, he took personal offence at the crows taking their fill this morning :rollseyes:

My father was the same, running battle with the wasps every year.

Are they cookers?

Yeah, they generally end up in tarts, crumbles or thrown in on top of custard. Seems to be more fruit than ever in that tree this year, whatever the reason.

We are in for a cold winter. All the trees and bushes are absolutely laden down with berries this year.

You going to hibernate for the winter?

I will if we are beat on Friday.

Just looked up the fixture & ref. 615 in NCW on a Friday is a horrible time to play.

I see that now.
Great appointment.

The crab apple jam and the first batch of the blackberry jam is made. Picked 3.5 lbs of them this morning

Had a mouse in the living room there and no traps in the house. I went and got the terrier. After a great hunt she nailed the mouse. :clap:

I’m coming into possession of a Parsons Terrier quite soon and I’m very much looking forward to similar escapades.
