Bit of a niche topic but is anyone aware of any Sloe bushes in the area? There are normally loads near my parents but obviously with Tier 2 we can’t go. I’ll be making some Sloe Gin and Brandy once I have the sloes. Happy to share my recipe if anyone else interested. Ideally you get them just before the first frost!

Yes, we got lots a couple of years back from the top of One Tree Hill - literally just behind the platform at the top!

Oh ok that’s fab. I might have to take a walk up there next week. Thank you - hope I can get some next week

There are quite a lot along the Riverside walkway or The Pool River…
However you might find them gone as they were soft and ready very early this year and will have been gobbled up by birds and people by now…

Thanks. Do you mean Waterlink way or is Riverside walk somewhere else. Where is The Pool River too? Yeah I suspect I am a bit late but worth a shot

Brilliant. I shall report back next week on how I get on. Might try here first as a bit nearer and probably busier mid week
