marshman 7,758 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 He nearly lost an eye last year , he pulled a low branch over to pick and asked he's daughter to hold it . She let go and the branch pinged up and he got a thorn in between the eyelid . This year he's wearing safety googles ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 22,864 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I can't find any in my usual spots in Lancashire, we are hoping to make a load of sloe gin to put in little bottles for all our guests when we get married next year. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
