A banner day for me and hubby: we found our first Geocache (after several frustrating attempts). Then returned to a previously unfruitful cache site to harvest wild black cap raspberries. Someone had beat us to it for the easy berry grabs, necessitating me 'womaning up' to brave mozzies, prickly thorns, snakes and spiders. Nine jars of delicious jam resulted: picked at 9am, jam by 2. Big smiles
Oops - more people want a jar (mother, sister, two nieces, Aunty ...) I'll have to go back there for more, if there are any left.
Hubby helped... "Move six feet to your left - there's a mother lode of juicy ripe berries"
Me: "but there's nothing but waist high brambles and a six foot drop over there!"
Today is another "catch up" this is last Thursdays walk/climb around the area of Hapton Quarry. An area of contrast, green bits, wet bits, rock hard bits, and rotating bits.
A return to Viking Country for a bijou holidayette, Witch, Bitch & yours truly! Indulging in the sites, culture & flavours enjoyed by our Nordic neighbours.
My but it's a tad parky on our crossing to Fyn - Svendborg Dry dock, historic ships & colourful dockside facade. (We're here until Saturday so expect to be bored to tears with happyhols snaps! These were yesterdays )
It is a place that I am unlikely to visit in person...so I say 'Bring it on'!
