So to try to bring this back to life, here's a photo of just one day's harvest from our amazing little Victoria plum tree in the garden:
It yielded so many plums it was incredible - some went to next door, some went to family, and a lot went into Delia Smith's plum chutney (not to be opened until December). And finally, a fair amount went into a plum and ginger compote, which has been the key ingredient in many a delicious breakfast of yoghurt, compote and muesli ever since...
Missing the plums, missing Autumn...
