I'm a Royal Navy Veteran from Scotland and love to get out and about with my wife, susantbraithwaite.com, and my faithful camera and capture whatever catches my eye. My posts will be a collection of photos from our travels and anything I find interesting; and squirrels, lots of squirrels.

Wow!
This looks so wonderful, except for that mouth drying feature 🙂
Hi, Karen 👋 They are actually part of the plum family, and although edible, are very tart & if you are brave enough to eat one raw, would dry your maouth out before finishing it 🤣 They do get used a lot in preserves, cooking & in the making of gin; my dad used to make sloe gin 😃

Are they like blueberries? Do you eat them?

Oh! When I heard it, I thought they were saying slow gin, and thought maybe the method was slow. It’s clear who the slow one is.
