I'm a Royal Navy Veteran from Scotland and love to get out and about with my wife, susantbraithwaite.com, on our Kalkhoff e-bikes. My faithful camera, Snappy, and the ever-present Lensy (lensball) are always along for the ride to capture the beauty of Scotland đ´ó §ó ˘ó łó Łó ´ó ż. Join me as I share photos from our travels, how Lensy views the world & pretty much anything shiny â¨

Hi, Karen đ 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 𤣠They do get used a lot in preserves, cooking & in the making of gin; my dad used to make sloe gin đ

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.
