So many plums and their relatives by lake cake, but we cannot reach them because we haven't maintained the ground we made from brambles this year .

We'd need a troop of people I think. . I might try and take a picture later. We have a smaller maintenance job this morning, and then some painting to get done if possible before rain starts.

New product development idea ..... see you on Dragons' Den? Identify a hovering drone and design a "fruit picking attachment" for it ... and possibly even a small snipping device.

Loads of gardeners would buy a nifty drone they can operate from a lounger to pick fruit, or trim the top of a bush

It's got almonds in it ... I don't like the taste of almonds.

Sable pastry doesn't, or at least mine doesn't. It's a sweet short pastry which also has an egg in it. It's quite hard to work although it gets easier with practice. Sable means sand-like in this context.

Frangipane is basically almonds.

Ah, I didn't know what that was either, but didn't google it as I'd heard the word

I'd not like that either then

Grr! Tried to copy a friends broccoli and pine nut salad. Wasted time thinly slicing broccoli, part cooking it then frying pine nuts. She uses whole florets and doesn't cook or fry anything.
