Get Your Spindle Berries Here!


I woke up this morning to disaster. Clear blue skies, the first that I have seen for weeks.


I checked the weather forecast and it told me the sun would only last till mid day.
I had promised to go to town with my landlord this morning to help him to purchase a CCTV system for the farm  shop. (He doesn't like technology)
But not until ten, there was time.
There are a few Spindle trees out on the common. This one was still in the shade but the light was good and it works for me.









We also have a small tree in the front garden and I thought that as I was doing Spindle that I should take a few shots of that one too.









Spindle berries are quite poisonous and would be great in poison pie (I am thinking of a colourful berry flan now). It causes liver and kidney damage and can lead to death.
Well that was my early morning rush about and I am very glad to have seen the sun for a few hours. As I am about to post this the sky has gone black again and it looks like rain but never mind...
At ten o'clock my landlord rung me and said that he couldn't go to town today as he had some stone being delivered and so I took Fizz for a walk and the sun shone on us for another couple of hours. There might be another post today :)
