Spindle berries
Spindle berries. The old lady who used to own the steep rough bit of land laughingly known as our garden told me that the spindle tree grows here. By dint of cutting most other things right back, and the spindles back quite a lot, I sometimes get a good Autumn show of these lovely pinky red things. The actual berries are deep yellow, and buried inside the "Cardinals' Hats".
