Grapes

[poliphilo]

 My mother grew grapes to make wine which wasn't always disgusting. The wine-making finished a long time ago but the vines are still there- and the developing grapes are looking plumper than usual. That'll be down to the heatwave.  Perhaps they'll be sweeter too.  Matthew suggests freezing them and eating them through the winter. I don't normally pick them because they're only just palatable but this year I might.

That's nice.

My mother used to make jam. I remember huge cauldrons simmering stickily on the stove when I was a kid.
