Is that blackthorn? Do you get sloes? We have a lot of hawthorn but I was thinking of putting in some blackthorn along with hawthorn and roses to line the lower field.
I have asked for an extension to our deer fence for my birthday so it will finally be feasible to plant there.
To be honest I don't know what it is - I thought it was May Blossom - is that Blackthorn? I will investigate:) I have made sloe gin in the past, but as I'm the only one who drinks it down here I don't bother for myself - I should really. It's funny how our priorities change as we get older - could you imagine giving a 20 something a fence for their Birthday??
Euan has always given me very practical presents, he knows me very well - the wellies I got for Christmas a year ago were the best present ever. I wonder if it has something to do with having been a teen romance. We have been together so long that we probably count as an old married couple. I got a rabbit trap one year - I probably was a twenty something - but a bunny infested twenty something.
I get the fripperies out of the blue when he happens to be passing a shop.
