Scratched but happy!

Yesterday I was picking gooseberries from the only surviving bush in my neighbour's garden. I cleared back vegetation at the beginning of the year, but the bindweed was encroaching. However, the gooseberries were large due to all the rain, and I picked 1 1/4 kilograms from the bush.

My arms are scratched so I am using my comfrey cream on them.

I took half the gooseberries into the kayak club this morning to give to a friend, and made the rest into a crumble for me.

I still have my 4 bushes to pick but don't expect to get as much combined from them as I did from one bush yesterday.

When cycling along the Lea Navigation yesterday, and again to and from the kayak club today I passed people with binoculars and telescopes interested in the roofs of the houses by the pub between the club and Leabridge Road. On the way home today I asked what bird they were interested in. It was the rose finch, normally found in Easter Europe and Russia.
