Fruits

Who would have thought? Prior to this summer season, I have been living in a fruitful paradise without ever realizing it. In my house garden, we've discovered damson trees, a blackberry bush, and maybe even an apple tree. Who knows what other treasures there may be (besides the family of muntjacs...). Numerous damson trees stretch along the street outside the house. And, apparently, there's even a fig tree along a nearby street.

So tonight, 2 housemates and I decided to pick some of the damons and make a damson crumble. It was delicious and extremely juicy, albeit fairly tart. I think only one of the trees bear sweet damsons, while the others are tart. Regardless, picking our own damsons from our own garden and making a dessert out of it makes everything that much more tasty especially when the only "sweat" that we shed was harvesting the fruit from trees that we neither planted nor sowed. :-?

All that remains is for the blackberry bush to ripen and to see whether we do or do not have an apple tree...
