While were walking around the stone circle in Avebury, we came across a bush covered in sloes. Fantastic, we thought. More sloe gin on it's way.
Sloes berries (the fruit of the blackthorn) seem to be very sparse this year. The mixed-up (wet) summer weather conditions must have resulted in a poor setting of the fruit...
Last year we collected a load of sloe berries to make some amazingly tasty sloe gin. In fact it was so tasty that we've done the same again this year...
Not the fattest Sloe berries, but it has been a very dry summer.
