Last of the summer vine

We have had a pretty good crop of tomatoes from our plant this summer, but they are all just about finished now so it's goodbye to taste and back to the supermarket for a while.



This is one of the byproducts of feeding the birds. It seems that the sparrows here are not too keen on sunflower seeds and so there have been many of them popping up.




On an unrelated topic, I was listening to the radio and heard this apparent cure for arthrytis.
Empty a packet of Californian sultanas into a jar and add a bottle of gin. Leave to soak for 10 days and then eat at a rate of 10 per day. This is a guaranteed cure which I can't wait to try. I am not actually convinced about it, but I shall enjoy trialling it!
