It's all a bit late

 Tony and I went for a foraging walk today and were very disappointed to find that hardly anything was ripe. I did manage a few blackberries and elderberries but not enough of either to make syrup.  I intend to have a look again this week in case the ones a bit closer to home are further on.  We have some friends coming over for a bite to eat and social evening next weekend so I am going to be researching vegetarian recipes. Brenda is a veggie and we don't mind one bit eating a plant based meal but vegetarian cooking for entertaining isn't something I have done before. I'd appreciate any nice recipes if you have any. Last night we had a different set of friends over and I cooked a gorgeous beef casserole.  Dessert was simply a bag of frozen raspberries whizzed up in my blender.  I spooned a little pool of raspberry mush into the bottom of the glass bowls and topped them with Greek yogurt into which I had blitzed most of the remainder of the raspberries and a dash of double cream.  A little swirl of raspberry mush finished it off nicely though the rasps were a bit on the tart side.  A drizzle of honey would have sweetened them nicely.

We're changing things around in the garage and it looks a lot tidier.  We moved the big fridge freezer and Tony will be making a shelf to put the dryer and small freezer underneath of. It will give us loads of space for storing my preserves and the basket of onions and garlic that I harvested recently.
