Nuts!

Whole Hazel nuts - from our twisted Hazel and they are lovely. 
I used to love going nutting, blackberrying or to the pick your own fruit farm when I was a kid. I seem to recall scrumping a walled garden, but the less said about that...hehe. 
Talking of which, must pick some apples tomorrow. The Damsons aren't ready. I give most away to a friend of mom's, from the WI. She makes beautiful jams, pickles, chutneys and goodness what else, and donates all sale money to charity. She kindly gives me a few jars of my favourites as payment. It's a good trade that has been working for over 20yrs. Last time I saw her I was car bound with 'Sciatica', she might be surprised to hear I was off my feet for five months!
