Eily’s Report – 10th September

Dia is Mhuire dióbh go léir a cairde and welcome to my Report.

September is moving along beautifully, giving us lots of sunshine and  some of the loveliest hours of tranquil pleasant moments if you were lucky enough to capture them. The fruits of the Earth continue to mature and ripen.  Every day there are offers of juicy plums, damsons, and wild crabs . Soft fruits which have to be nipped at the right time before they over ripen and fall of the branch.  The same goes for the hazel nuts. How we loved to climb the precarious limbs to retrieve them. When we had teeth of our own, it was no bother for us to crack the hard shells  with our teeth to get out the little treasure within. Rose hips are ablaze of colour just now as their greenish yellow fruits are fast turning to a rosy red. We have often heard of Rose Hip syrup but never made any.  There was really no need to venture into the world of such high class preserves when our world was full of blackberries and strawberries, rhubarb  and a whole range of  items  which gave us enough of jars of   jam  to see us right through the winter.
