Talk about streets paved with gold…..

Went on a quick 8km stroll before breakfast the other day – up to the top of the hill, across to the Ebersheim boundary, along the ridge towards Nieder-Olm and then down towards the Selz River (Selz Trickle?) and back up through the village.

You could easily feed a family for a week on what’s available for picking.
For free. (As Joni would say)

Big blackberry patches – I got over a kilo (about $15 worth) the other day.

Pear trees, apples trees, cherry trees, plum trees scattered through the hedgerows.

Someone probably planted them commercially decades ago, but now they’re abandoned and no-one bothers with them.

Here’s a tart (or pie) cherry tree, just loaded with fruit.

Cherry clafoutis tomorrow evening….

  2. >picking berries is my favorite thing to do, today I might pick blueberries, The sounds of women and girls is like the sweetest music on earth, as they talk and laugh in the berry patch.
