More blackberries

I froze the first lot 'cos I'm not exactly sure what I am doing with them.  For the next harvest I'm going for a Blackberry and Apple Crumble.  Apparently very easy to make but we'll see.  

Apples courtesy of Loraine.  Picture of finished bake later on but, here's the foraged ingredients to be going on with. Hope there's enough, I'm not very good at guessing 300g.




The greehouse is finished!!

I don't like using exclamation marks so much, but I'm so chuffed that the greenhouse is actually built that I though a little exuberant punctuation was probably OK.

So, here it is, screwed down to the base and completely glazed (shout out to Colin for the loan of his drill).   

It would have been a complex 3D puzzle anyway but it was made worse by the gap in time from actually buying it to getting around to putting it together.  I had forgotten that a few sheets of glass were needed so that fooled me for a while. A quick trip to Abbey Glass for the last few panes and its done.

Not sure if I'll actually be putting anything in it until next year but I thought this view was rather nice on a sunny October day with a lovely reflection of the rest of the site.
