Download sloe bush no thorns7/13/2023 ![]() ![]() A passing dog walker confessed to having been out picking the week before. The first location we went to in search of sloes had lots of lovely berries on the higher branches but the lower ones had been stripped bare. We’d also agreed a chutney and jam swap so nothing was going to stand in my way of sampling some new preserves: plum jam, gooseberry jam and piccalilli. ![]() I wouldn’t have changed my plans even if I had known: Deb is much better company and is as keen on cooking and vegetable growing as I am. I was in the Royal Forest of Dean instead picking sloes with my friend Deb oblivious to the fact that the Royals were on my doorstep (not literally you understand). Was I down at the Dockside giving the Queen a wave? No I wasn’t. This time last week the Queen was in Gloucester. ![]()
