Out along the East Lothian coast and its fabulous beaches earlier this week for #FingerpostFriday

Finger post, pointing in one direction 'John Muir Way Yellowcraig' and in the other 'John Muir Way Dirleton' . Behind it a mown hay field and blue sky. In the middle is the pointy peak of North Berwick Law.

Had the first edible pear from my laggard pear trees (no edible pears in 8 years). This was a windfall, slightly crunchy but provides promise of success with those still on the tree. 🍐

Perfect looking pear, green, with a reddish tinge,on a red tablecloth

Just biting into the first eating apple of the season (Red Falstaff) and, wow, a reminder of the difference in taste between a home grown apple and one from the shops. Plenty more to come too 🍎🍎🍎 #AutumnJoys #SmallBeauties

Quick dash round the garden to see what I could enter for the local veg show. These are all too bendy, quirky, knobbly or insufficient in number: beans, cucumber, pear, tomatoes, apple sunset and apples Howgate Wonder #SixOnSaturday . Off to the show with jam, chutney and more apples

Pile of fruit and veg: about a dozen bendy runner beans, 4 large apples one small apple, a pear, a round yellow cucumber and 2 wonky tomatoes

Was going to make bramble and apple jam. Then I looked at the clock, and all the sugar and thought. 'You know what? Nuh. I'll just freeze it all for winter breakfasts and puddings'. But first we'll have to get through last year's supply. #allotment #gluts #growYourOwnFood
