Bullace and mirabelle picking!

This evening I walked a mile or so to a small stand of wild plum trees a friend told me about earlier this year. Bullaces are small plums that come in a variety of different colours but are the smaller red ones here, whereas the bigger yellow fruits are mirabelle plums. They taste very similar to each other and are delicious.

2; This is a stick another friend recommended I take to help me reach more plums (you have to lean over a bridge to reach them) and the head is carved from an antler. Useful in hooking branches and bringing them closer for picking. 'He' took a 'selfie' of himself on our way back... with MY camera!
