Going Nuts

I have been keeping my eye on the hazelnuts the trees are laden with them around here, after a walk around the boundary hedgerows I gathered these ones that were ripening
There are loads more, far too much for the squirrels, I picked a few more field mushrooms as well.
The sloes are coming on and the blackberries are starting to ripen.
We have had heavy showers and sunshine today, in between showers I made a start on the gravel
 2 tons is a lot of gravel to shift but it will get done this week.
Last night I took some photos of the moon
They didn't come out to well, it was so bright, that is one of the things I like here no light pollution.
I am off to eat a nice bowl of creamy rice pudding
It has been slowly cooking in the Rayburn all afternoon, hubby doesn't like rice pudding but I do, its just as well he isn't here.

    1. I am only moving it in small batches, that is why it is taking so long, the spreading is easy its the shoveling thats hard graft

  3. I can only do rice pud if it has lots of jam which really defeats the point of eating it as it tastes like jam rather than rice pud, so I manage without!

  5. We are going to have a lot of gravel to move ourselves soon, so I know how much work your efforts are putting you to! It will be worth it when it is done though! xx
