Blackthorn...

Lots of it in flower by the lakes at Branton. Must try to remember exactly where it is, in the hope of sloes in the Autumn. It's a few years since I've made any sloe vodka!

Two slow walks with MrM and Louie today - round one of the lakes at Branton, quite a long way for Louie, and a shorter one round the Common late in the afternoon. Apart from that it was a day of not doing much, apart for a couple of hours' tidying in the courtyard. But nothing too strenuous.
