Plums, plums, plums.

Earlier this morning I was watching a Blackcap eating one of the plums hanging in the tree just outside the bedroom window. She must have known I was going to be harvesting, having said that there are plenty of rotting ones still there for the birds to feast on.

I have never made plum sauce before but it went rather well, see extra. The oven has been working hard today also baking bread and roasting tomatoes.

Hebe Great Orme which fills the bathroom window was needing to be reduced in size so that happened too, cuttings from it usually root well so I have some of them just in case the old shrub doesn't survive (I'm sure it will!)
