Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Now I remember having holes in my shoes in the 60’s because all shoes had leather soles and they always wore out and it all depended on when your parents took them to the cobblers to be repaired… you lived with it. Wasn’t a social statement just another thing to be done… 120
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Shorts and a big coat. That was the fashion of the times if you were little as I recall, albeit 10 years later than this photo. 010
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 09/10/2026This evening’s pre-dinner refreshment. Cheers all👍 170
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026As it’s such a lovely afternoon and the weather’s going to turn next week…..one more from my Oktoberfest collection. That’s it, no more today after this. 070
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The gardening responsibilities having been successfully discharged in the autumn sunshine, my little reward has been earned. Thought I’d stay with the Oktoberfest theme, as I have a couple of bottles to try. 3290
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Ikwym. I did the Edinburgh to London Sunday night special at about the same period as you. As we left Waverley someone shot some of the windows out… no matter, the train carried on unnerved as did the “fortified” passengers. Me? Longest 7hrs of my life 🤣 0101
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Joining in the Oktoberfest spirit from the back garden on a very mild evening in west London 170
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Thanks for that. Must have been 1980 I tried it. School history trip and a very enlightened teacher who believed in holistic education and generously bought us a pint to try something other than lager…. 010
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I have a vague recollection that many, many years ago Shepard Neame brewed a beer called Borough Brown; have I imagined that? 111
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 26/09/2026A fine drop. My local shops have this. I’m very lucky to have such well stocked outlets so close. 010
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Unseasonably mild for 7pm at the end of September in London, so a cold beer was called for 050
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Fine selection you have there! Tasting notes of the Glesinger would be great! 001
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 08/09/2026After years of trying I have finally grown one from seed; it’s only 30cm tall after a year but 🤞 will carry on 151
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Can confirm. People asking if you caught anything fishing🤷🏻♂️ 070
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Lovely. My local offie has a selection of European lagers, 3 for a tenner; great to mix and match from the 30’or so on offer. I really like the Früh 010
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Very welcome. I got mine in Waitrose in West Ealing; think it’s new here, haven’t seen in before👍 110
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Solar garden lights. Brighter than I expected and last about 6 hrs at the moment. Glass yoghurt jar with the solar panel stuck to the top. Cost about £8 each 040
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 17/07/2026It is absolutely stunning. Worth a trip to the museum just for that alone 👍 030
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Fox and cat stand off this evening. Place your bets… 050
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Middlesex Championship today. English Longbow at 100yds. Wasn’t my arrow but fine nonetheless. Arrow caught in the wind flag above target 3 050
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Some longbow field arrows I made for a club colleague. 325-350grn weight with 70grn arrow points (by Tippingpoint Archery in Italy), shafts are spruce 30”, 35lb spine. I’m sure he won’t lose these! 050
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Tag team hitting the tables at the Orangery at Kew! 180
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Some tapered longbow arrows I made last week. 1st time using alcohol inks and spliced feather fletches. Port Orford Cedar shafts, TopHat 80grn points. 32lb spine, 365grn weight., 28.5” length. Point on target at 60yds. Don’t like the spliced fletches though. 050
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Took this picture nearly a decade ago. Barnes Common. I really like the scene 140
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 21/03/2026Beautiful photo, London is honoured with these vistas. Not far to the left of where this photo was taken, there’s a mulberry tree of great age, worthy of note. If you pass through the park, give it a nod! 060
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 12/03/2026This. I’ve got some of retained operation gas still; it’s the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced 😬. Hopefully dissipates soon 🤞 010
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 12/03/2026You and me both! Wish you all the best and a speedy recovery. 🤞 010
Fruitshoot @fruitshoot.bsky.social · 11/03/2026They’re great! On a par with a duck caller whistle. Must haves on the archery field! 110
