to eat and to see

We have a glut of fruit, especially plums! We can't pick enough, the trees are laden. We have made many new friends by giving bowls of these delicious things away!

Mrs H has been baking and made these plum puffs after watching a video on YouTube by 'My Daddy Cooks' - a Dad cooking with his 4 year old, Archie - very sweet!
She followed it up with a stew from the Cranks recipe book.

We also went to a magical outdoor theatre on the moor just outside Liskeard called Sterts.
We saw 'Guys and Dolls' and it was so professional despite being performed by amateurs.

It had an awning, but we all still needed blankets (and a drop of something to warm the cockles).

PS. If you have any favourite plum recipe's or ideas for storing, please can you tell us?!
