come on you blues!

we've had our blueberry bush for ages. every year i've neglected to water the bush and so the berries have withered away. but lo, this year mother nature did the watering (ah the british summer!) and ta-da, here's just a some of the resulting crop...

not so ol' blue eyes has been enjoying them atop his 'full monty' (mixture of all available breakfast cereals).

when we planned the kitchen we imagined that we'd keep the work surfaces clear, with perhaps the exception of an artfully arranged fruit bowl. alas, as you can see the reality is that it is hidden beneath a dense layer of family flotsam and jetsam, there's even a cow grazing on there. sigh.
