Re: anyone got any sloes
I have found a load of sloes, right beside the sea on a promontary so they probably escaped the frost. Not that I want them but was just surprised to see so many given the plum problems this year!

Re: anyone got any sloes
i seek them high, i seek them low,
and yet i can't find any sloes,
i seek them here, i see them there,
but i can't find sloes anywhere.
it is so, the seasons thin,
how will i last the winter without sloe gin?!!!!!!!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

Re: anyone got any sloes
I also have no sloes in Bedfordshire.
I've reached the point of desperation where I'm just drinking the gin I bought to make sloe gin, diluted with tonic & a slice of lemon.
The depths one is forced to go to survive!

Re: anyone got any sloes

Re: anyone got any sloes
No Sloes, and a bad year for most of our fruit this year, fortunaty good stock of gin and wine from last year ( if we sloe down a bit) but plenty of nut wine and peach wine so all in all we will be OK. 'Hic'
