Smelling Honeysuckle (mmm 8) ) ... and picking blackberries from a hedgerow (bit sour, but for the odd ripe one) :D



Last week my grand daughters went picking blackeberries and set them in Jelly. Sooo refreshing. Now they are enjoying lovely sunshine in Cyprus. Tomorrow I join them.
Pity you are in the UK. When my guests arrive, I would have suggested they bring you along (as my guest). I would have loved to show you real Turkish Cypriot hospitality. :lol: Matbe next time. :wink:

In the UK, I would only offer you a salmon and cucumber sandwich. Has anyone put that on your list? :lol:

That's a great tip Deniz .... I love fruit in jelly ... and of course Sherry Trifle! 8)

Have a great time in Cyprus (easy) ... I have no doubts about the TC hospitality ... it's just the other thing that bothers me. :?

Sandwiches have not been mentioned ... and they definitely deserve pride of place ... especially with the crusts cut off!
:D

Shouldn't you be packing? :?

The English Honeysuckle I equate with Cypriot Jasmine ... 8)

I love both, but Jasmine I have outside my constantly open window in Cyprus, and even though my window is open here in the UK ... it is too high up from the scent of the garden Honeysuckle ..... :)

But Vassilikia (Basil) is something else for the senses altogether .... 8)

Get ready to be re-born Deniz!
