    Can't realy freeze them as have a tiny freezer and it's already crammed full... :(

    But I'm going jam jar hunting today now as I think even I can manage that :) and if it turns out nice I might even give them away as pressies heehee!!!!

    If I had somewhere to store them I'd get demijohns and do wine too! We have sloes nearby too so sloe gin willbe in the making after the first frost ;)

    Sweet chestnuts and elderberries seem to be plentiful at the moment,but its too late for a lot of blackberries - they came early with coz of the weather, which is a shame.

    Got a book from the library about self sufficiency yesterday and that had loads of good ideas for all kinds of hedgerow fruit, so might be tempted to dig in!

    Had to look it up :o but I like it too:)

    Loads of elderberries, rose hips around and damsons in the farmshop also damzines? never heard of these -look like a little damson (or maybe the folks at the farmshop can't spell damson :D ) My crab apples need picking. I thought I'd make some crab apple and elderberry jelly next week when the kids are out of my hair ;)
