Purple Fruit

Not plums or damsons or even olives, these little guys are sloes. They are the fruit of the blackthorn and grow wild in the hedgerows. Every time I see them, I'm reminded I should be making sloe gin out of them. Maybe tomorrow I will have time. I have just sent off Book 3 of the series I'm working on. Three down, three to go! Off to bed now!

I'd never seen them before either, they kind of look like grapes or plums - how big are they? Beautiful shot!

Ooo they're cute! Funny I bought some gin yesterday as a start for the Christmas drinks cabinet!
