Feeling much better today. Mooched about over the weekend, knitting, reading and watching films. Had a cry on the phone to my Mum and felt heaps better. Picked elderberries for the first time today. I also picked some more blackberries. I am filling my freezer and trying to become more self-sufficient. I have just started reading 'Food for Free' by Richard Mabey. Elderberries are apparently good to add to fruit pies or added to blackberry jam.
Pick the berries when their clusters have turned upside down and heavy with the fruit. Wash them and then pick off with a fork. Don't pick the wrinkly berries.
I thought the empty stalks were rather pretty too. I've stuck them on my studio ceiling!
