We're going on a sloe hunt
We're going to catch some big ones
We're not scared
Hang on......that's bears not sloes!!
Well, we definitely went on a Sloe hunt. We had a lot of fun too. However, we came out empty handed. We followed a great tip off to find loads and loads of sloe bushes only to find them, eventually.....already cut back by the farmer. Boo hiss......don't they know that I NEED to make sloe gin.
I'm not a massive fan of the foot shot.......normally because ALL my shoes are really scruffy. However a family foot shot.....now that's a whole different story.
We stumbled upon this great den, the kids loved it!
Spooky gate. The magic is on the other side of that. There's a red dragon that lives there.
I love my family, they are bonkers!
Anyone know a great place for sloes? No, oh well. I'll be hunting again soon.

Looks like you had a fab day out nevertheless. When we went blackberry & sloe picking the same had happened, trimmed trees so we didn't get many. If you like a bit of home brewing and infusing you might enjoy this website I came across recently, lovely boozy stuff :) http://boozedandinfused.com/
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for the heads up. What a great boozy blog that is, right up my street lol. I am very jealous of your sloe gin i must say.
