Gimme a gooseberry bush any day

My dad always used to grow gooseberries 

We used to pick them at dad’s friend’s farm. Farmer’s wife made delicious gooseberry jam 

I used to love gooseberry jam

Bitter and tart - lovely

I love brussel sprouts

Two of my DiLs love them, the other DiL eats one at Christmas and that’s as much as she can cope with 

Seven and a half thousand pounds

I’ve made it once but I was the only one who would eat it 

If I won the lottery, I would be very tempted to buy trees like that and create a wood in the grounds of my self designed home.

She eats nearly everything else so we let her off 

The other two DiLs are the fussy eaters.

I would also fill it with bluebells (native) and snowdrops, with wildflower planting as you come out of the woods before entering the formal garden nearer the house. Not that I've put much thought into it. 

Did you see those chairs near Carol ?

Anyone know what they are?

its such a pain to post its so bliddy slow

I just found myself feeling slightly sad that to appreciate the beauty of a wildlife garden you have to sit or lay on the ground amongst it ...... those were the days...., I creak to much and need a lift to get up now.
