Elderberries.

I spotted these berries when walking the dog. If you listen to the old wives tales, you might think, that with the heavy crop of berries, we may be in for another harsh winter. 3 years running. I hope not. I would need a log store as big as the house. When my dad, moved back to Ireland, he used to buy the unpopular sausage turf(i.e. turf cut from a machine) He loved this for its ease of use on the Rayburn. He had 3 huge loads outside the house, and used to face the load, with hand cut turf. This was an awesome sight, and as uncle Marchie used to say, all of that turf, would be carried in on a lady's apron.
