@TarkabarkaHolgy Here's a mystery I hope you can help solve. You posted something (maybe around 20 July 2023 judging by the URL?) that I wanted to answer when I had more time. I bookmarked it from https://folksocial.org/@TarkabarkaHolg[email protected]/110745406044617343 *but* FolkSocial have redirected to BlueSky and all past posts seem to be lost, inc. many I wanted to save. 😠 I can find no archive copy, not even on Ohai. 😞 Do you still have it? I've a vague recollection it may have been about a translation annoyance, but that could be wrong.

@alexisbushnell Probably too early to pick though - people say 'after first frost'

@alexisbushnell look like sloes to me - especially if they're sour & astringent (make your mouth feel dry), little flesh (big stone), thorns (it's a.k.a. blackthorn) and can be 'polished' to a darker blue. They make lovely jam, wine, gin, etc.
