Past some lovely little cottages...
And into the nature reserve...
Ah ha! This is what I have been looking for - rosehips!
I need quite a few, and I manage to fill half a carrier bag full of these autumnal goodies, though not without a few scratches first - ouch, I forgot about the thorns!
Ooh lovely. I've never made that, but maybe I should give it a try.
ReplyDeleteI believe you can make itching powder from the seeds but I haven't done that, or, made syrup.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will keep you healthy through the winter.
I used to have rosehip syrup as a child and had forgotten all about it till now...thanks for the memory jolt.

That looks just gorgeous, I have never made this but your picture gives me the urge to go pick.

First time reading your blog. Rosehip syrup, so good for you. Lovely to read about Totteridge, I grew up not too far from there.
ReplyDeleteI remember having rose hip syrup from the clinic when I was a child - I used to love the taste:)
ReplyDeleteHi Charlotte, Thank you for your comment. Wasn't it just dreadful at Ardingly. Those gusts of wind were downright frightening. Maybe see you at the next one? Lizzie x
