Hedgerow Fruits


This is a lovely time of year to be walking through the country lanes. The fruits of autumn is getting into full swing.
Elderberries are a plenty, hazlenuts strewn over the pathways. I did crack a few and they were bursting with nuts inside. In fact the ones i had cracked had shell to shell nuts inside. Completely full.
However i came across this fruit that i had not seen before. They are not slothes, and are the size of a large cherry. A search on the internet gave me "Wild Damsons". They are plum like and the smell is simular. Would like to hear from anybody who might shed some light.
