He was too fast for me to take a picture, though; unlike the Stuttgart park hares which are totally unfazed about human presence.<br />Our summer was hardly worth that name - July and August were way too cold and too wet, and I had to put the heating on some mornings in July. Hopefully, a sunny September and October will at least partly make up for it.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-9005477819687133492011-09-05T13:53:47.309+02:002011-09-05T13:53:47.309+02:00Oh to have reliable Summers!

We had so little sun this year that I can't even get my tomatoes to ripen and as for the grapes, I am ignoring them and if they turn, then it will be a bonus. There is not much about germany that I covet, dear, but the reliability of the weather is one of them (and the beer of course). I had some local red once in Boeblingen. Crikey did that give me a bad head! I will stick to beer from now on when I am over there.<br />You have some lovely places over there. I still can't get over all those hares we saw in that park in the middle of Stuttgart.Perlnumquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13719930860859412405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-44855770836129934842011-09-05T07:44:25.181+02:002011-09-05T07:44:25.181+02:00Jenny, maybe you should have stated to your neighb...Jenny, maybe you should have stated to your neighbour the exact amount of plums she was allowed to pick, instead of "some" ;-) No, really, that wasn't a very nice thing to do, was it!<br /><br />Jarmara, a walk around the village sounds lovely, please do post pictures of it.<br /><br />Kay, a good idea about the picture for the label on the bottle! And thank you for confirming that these are morning glories.<br /><br />Jill, I wouldn't want it any other way. Walking is such a pleasant way of getting from A to B - had we sped by those vineyards in a car, we would never have spotted the deer. And I am happy to be healthy and strong enough to get about on my own two feet :-)<br /><br />GB, thank you; I like how the raspberry picture has come out, too. It looks as if it lives in its own pretty green tent of leaves under the sun.<br /><br />Fi, I hope you'll soon be able to get rid of the crutches again!<br /><br />Mary, it was indeed a lovely day.

When I used to spend so much time in Germany I used to drink German wine in the evening here in the UK but my tastes changed and I generally drink red wine now. (For your non-European readers who may not be acquainted with German wine, superb white wine is produced and is the principal wine of Germany). However I have decided to try German wines again. I have a strange feeling, though, that they will not be so easy to find in our shops here as they once were. I'll report back on that one.<br /><br />I loved your walk though. It makes me look forward to walking in the sun in France in 10 days or so.<br /><br />The raspberry mad my mouth water - a prince amongst fruits in my book!Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-82295714817165325082011-09-04T19:22:44.615+02:002011-09-04T19:22:44.615+02:00I'm always amazed that you walk everywhere.

It makes me happy to see where it might have come from. Your photo of the deer in the vineyard should be stamped upon a bottle of wine... wouldn't that look great?

I shall post the walk my friend and I do around the village where we live, once we have a lovely morning.<br /><br />Jenny, what a mean neighbour you had taking the lot. My friend Ana and I pick from the hedgerow and only take a few. I hate seeing so much waste. My apple trees have given me more than enough and there is quite a few going to waste but I've left a few for the wild life. I've made crumbles, chutney etc as well as eating them.Paula RChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05550276147711384895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-29007803229737489122011-09-04T12:19:03.068+02:002011-09-04T12:19:03.068+02:00What an idyllic place, and idyllic weather with it...What an idyllic place, and idyllic weather with it! Thank you for taking me along with you. What a lot of animals you see on the way. <br /><br />I love to see apple trees (and all fruit trees) laden - I would be tempted to collect windfalls in neglected orchatds, and make apple crumbles, chutneys, apple juice, etc. with them. But only if they are left to rot, and only windfalls (see below)<br /><br />I'm thinking about this subject at the moment because last week I told a neighbour she could pick some of my plums as I had a lot. And she seems to have picked EVERY SINGLE ONE (Or else someone else has... there were just a load of stalks left when I went to pick some more! <br /><br />Do you think she might have thought, wrongly, that I was planning to leave my plums to rot? <br />Anyway, I won't offer the plums next year!)Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.com
