Pickling walnuts. Imagine a slab of sourdough, some fruit chutney (maybe apple and almond or fig and onion) some delicious aged cheddar that bites one’s tongue and pickled walnuts on the top.  A thing of joy!

Admiring the aggies. The longest stems we have ever had.

Masses of beans to pick in the long row. At the very least – Salade Nicoise tomorrow night.

And berries. Almost finished. But by the supermarket’s prices, I have $A6 worth of blueberries and $A6 worth of boysenberries and silvanberries with a couple of raspberries and redcurrants thrown in. This summer, we’ve frozen a few kilos of mixed berries, made berry jam and cherry plum jam. (as my husband calls it – cherry glug because of its consistency).

Enough blueberries for breakfast with yoghurt tomorrow. Just need another little flush by Saturday when we have friends coming for a relaxed BBQ.
