Our Red Currant Berries


Do you like to eat red currant berries? I liked them ever since I can remember. I think I did eat my first red currant berries when I was six years old or so, we had a garden back then too.

You probably know it, it’s not harmless to enter their territory, that’s what people say and I think they are right.

There was a footbridge near the swan that you need to use … Continue reading White Swan With Fledglings
