Foraging

Went to pilates for the first time in weeks. I may not be able to move on Monday.
We spent a bit of time in the garden moving the compost around in the large bin and mowing the lawn. An advantage of leaving the brambles for the wildlife is that we found some lovely blackberries lurking at the bottom of the garden.
After lunch, we got the bus into town and did a few odd jobs. We walked back and found loads more blackberries on the Thames path. Added them to our home-grown haul and made a blackberry and apple crumble for tea.

Inspired by the Great British Bake off, I've been wanting to have a go at making some macarons. I've never tried before but I do like the way they look and eating them. I followed an online recipe (which now seems rather complicated as it involved making a sugar syrup for the meringue) and ended up with lots of almost round discs that look macaron-like. Will get to try them tomorrow.
