Bought some #Norwegian #cheese for a nutty halftime nibble .. it may be made to a secret recipe dating from 1956 but it turns out that this #Jarlsberg is made in Ireland and packed in the UK! Swizz!
No PDO like Stilton, then!

Can you guess which fruit is this?

[damsonplums @Damsonplums]

.. heaving too up here in Leicestershire!

[Stephen Kelly @SKellyCEO]

I find a real joy in watching fruit trees grow over the summer — though they always keep you guessing! Hardly any apples 🍏 this year, but the plums & damsons are absolutely heaving with fruit. Anyone else see a bumper plum harvest coming this year? 🍑 #nature #fruit #wildlife

I give you ... 'A pair of #damsons, a study in green' ...

It's never too early to read up : see this guide to harvesting & storing #damsons from the community #allotment folks 'Roots'
"A ripe damson parts from the spur with almost no resistance — a light upward roll of the thumb is enough."
