Plum jam

Plums outside the kitchen
Picked and prepared
Simmering with the sugar
Potted up
Labelled

A brief visit from my old schoolfriend’s son

The generations remain in contact and now our children have children of their own.

My friend’s son turned out to be a natural with the goats

A walk along Mill Road and plenty to see as the harvest continues

Apple trees at the side of the road offering free treats (I have never seen these or the cherry trees being picked)

Their fruit eventually fall to the ground.

Every sycamore tree along the way is suffering – I hope they recover if we ever get rain again

Plums, plums and plums – with plenty more to come

Time to get in the sugar and get out the preserving pan to make greengage jam and plum jam and plum compote.

And ripening figs too

I saw the first ripe ones two weeks ago

Plenty more blackberries ripening everywhere

The usual time to pick them is August through to the end of September. They are ready a month early because of the exceptionally hot weather.

Teatime with my brother and sister-in-law and other close family.

Always laughing, talking politics and trivia and family secrets and winding each other up and always, always loving each other. Special, precious times.
