A very ominous sign….a Glove!

Those who have followed my blog over the past few winters will know of my attraction to gloves…or rather there attraction to me. 

For newer readers let me quickly explain.  It is not a fetish, it is just that over the autumn and winter months on my walks with the dogs we keep on finding gloves.  In fact if I had collected all that I found I could probably outfit a small town.  The only problem  is that they are ALL left handed gloves….and that has always been the puzzle; why left hand gloves and never the right hand?  The more I found the more the mystery deepens.

After a ‘glove free’ summer the first signs of autumn have been confirmed by my first glove of the new season…..and yes, its another left hander….

But there are also more natural signs that autumn is not that far away.  The Rowan Trees are full of berries, in fact a bumper crop this year…..

  1. I’m not ready for glove weather David! It’s funny you’ve already found one…you certainly do have an affinity for them, or they for you. Enjoy the day! Robyn

    1. At times we do get distracted…but it is a puzzle. Rowan Berries you are right you can do ‘things with them. My wife made Apple and Rowan Berry Jelly last year. It tastes great with Lamb, Beef and Game a sweet but tart jelly. BUT she found it a pain extracting the juice and pulp from the Rowan and is none too keen to do it again.
