Chestnuts in every pocket
The one great thing about working on the lower terraces? Free food.
Chestnut season ought to be over. And most of our trees are picked. But I found the mother lode of fat plump nuts under a tree on the third terrace down.
I was bramble hunting of course; so I had secateurs and gauntlets on. But my gilet has an awful lot of pockets. So I staggered back up to the house to empty my treasure onto the kitchen table, and back down again. That’s dessert sorted. Or dinner. I can never decide with sweet chestnuts.
