trappa 517 Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Went out this morning with the kids to our "secret" woodnut area. Theres always tons of woodnuts and we all love the so we were pretty gutted when we got there and there wasnt a woodnut in sight, someone had snaffled the lot. . Ive kept the squirrel numbers down around there so it wasnt them. Anyway we had a mnooch and, got a punnet of brambles, and, after finding out the difference between damsons and sloes we picked a couple of pounds of damsons ( really tasty ones) and we intend to make a jam. All in all it was a nice walk- i discussed with the kids some of the fundamental questions of life- who would win in a fight - a dalek versus optimus prime from transformers, randy couture (ufc ) versus a crocodile, and what would it be like to live in a house made of brambles! it doesnt half get intellectual with my kids. Heres a photo ( of the brambles and damsons, not a dalek) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trappa 517 Posted September 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 BTW I think the croc would beat Randy but i'm sure Simoman will have a better idea. We worked out that it would take randy, chuck liddell and tim sylvia to beat the croc!, and it would take 2 daleks to beat optimus prime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
