We have accomplished a lot in that time - well Doug has with my back-up. Completely forgot about Valentine's Day yesterday until I remembered in the late afternoon as we were driving home from appointments.
This morning I baked some interesting, and tasty, blueberry muffins made with oats, yoghurt, bananas, eggs, baking powder and baking soda and, of course. blueberries. A friend came around and we enjoyed them with a cup of tea. She brought Luisa plums with her and left with tomatoes. 27 degrees today. No sign of rain.
Those Plums look very much like Victorias. I wish I had a Victoria here, they are far superior to most French varieties.
ReplyDeleteThey are a delicious plum. I have not had a Victoria for 50 years so can't comment on the similarity.
DeleteSeeing the heat you have there reminds me that we shall be probably be sweltering again this year. I really hate the hot weather. Mmm, plums look lovely.

I think I prefer the cold as one can light a fire and put lots of clothes on but the heat is a different matter. Mind you, so far, our winters are quite bearable.
DeleteWe had rain this morning. Those plums look good!
ReplyDeleteThe plums are delicious. We could use some rain although I don't want it just as the peaches start to ripen which should be soon.
DeleteMy goodness how time flies - love plums, something that I look forward to each year, but in particular damsons.
ReplyDeleteYes, I well remember my mother's damson jam. We had just one tree in the garden but it had copious amounts of fruit.
DeleteYour muffins sound delicious. I usually don't eat plums in their raw form, but boiled for 20 minutes with some other fruit which make for a wonderful 'compote'.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure how these ones would go cooked but I must try and see.
DeleteThose muffins sound good - packed with healthy ingredients. The plums look tasty, so do the tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteI got the muffin recipe from our local paper it was from a book published on a healthy gut.
DeleteOh, how I would love a fresh picked tomato and plum now. They look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou will be picking them soon and we will be looking forward to next summer.
DeleteLovely to have fresh fruit like those, and an anniversary, it is our 57th tomorrow. Cooler mornings, but still very hot yesterday.
ReplyDeleteWe have a cooler breeze today. Happy Anniversary for tomorrow.
DeleteGood produce exchange! Your muffins sound very tasty, indeed.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a win/win situation.
DeleteI'm loving all the tomatoes that Summer brings, especially the cherry ones.
ReplyDeleteThey are wonderful aren't they.
