SLOE, SLOE, QUICK, QUICK, SLOE !
On Friday, Bob was delivering two Shed Aprons to a lady in the Retirement Community up the road, and she told him there were lots of sloes in the hedge by the footpath on the other side of the fence. Julian and I went on Saturday, armed with lok'n'lok boxes. But there is no longer access through the fence - just a padlock and barbed wire. We drove round the complex, hoping to walk up the footpath that way. But that appears to be closed off at the minute [we suspect part of the Norfolk Offshore Wind Zone Project aka NOWZ]
You have to be quick to get a sloe round here!
That will make a nice wee drop of sloe gin..... a thimbleful maybe?

DeleteCome here to East Sussex we have zillions. The hedges are full of them. I have two containers in the freezer in case next year is not so abundant. Two bottles of sloe gin maturing away in the garage. They are a good size this year too. What were you going to make with them? Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteBob liked the idea of some sloe gin at Christmas
DeleteHow disappointing! I hope you find more sloes in your neighborhood and can get more than just three!
ReplyDeleteIt is a good year, there will be some somewhere else
DeleteAren’t sloes just the most wonderful rich colour? What a shame you couldn’t get to them as they look perfect for picking. Catriona
ReplyDeleteI love the colour too
