All of a sudden the first of the summer fruit is ripe. We have red currant bushes in a fruit cage, and others planted in odd spots around the place. Normally the birds strip all of the bushes that are not in the cage, but this year all the bushes are laden. I suppose that means that the harsh winter killed more of the wild birds than we were aware of. Not that you would realise from the singing in the morning.
Time to start making jams and jellies, and crumbles and summer pudding!
