Along The Sloe Lane

On a day of prolonged heavy showers, Ruth and I hit the road foraging near Sue's up in the hills.   I took a footpath up towards a secret getaway, a rutted, overgrown track overhung with apples, hawthorn berries -extra -and the fruit of the blackthorn, beautiful blue sloes.    

Otherwise a quiet, restful day mostly at home.   After a long lie in I sorted some of the spring flowering crocuses.   Lunch then out in the sunshine.   This evening, after I had a snooze, Jamie came over and cooked some chilli for tea.  After running him home - the rain was back - I popped into the evening community session at pottery for an hour.  Nice chat, a little glazing and one new piece started.  Home for Destination X with Ruth.
