De walnootboom en de hazelnootstuik groeien een beetje doorelkaar in onze tuin....

The walnut and hazel in our garden are great friends...
in order to make nocino, you have to pick green walnuts. the traditional day is june 28, but I found the walnuts quite small (they're supposed to be lime-sized). i picked a bunch but failed to make nocino out of them due to lack of funds for certain essential ingredients.
fortunately, the tree is lush and yielded much green fruit, and I picked again when I next had money. they were the perfect size.
St Gregory Church
Sudbury, Suffolk
There has been a church on this site since at least the C8th , though the first documentary evidence comes from a will dated to AD 970.
At the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066 the church belonged to Earl Morcar, but after the Norman success at the Battle of Hastings it was granted to the Earl of Gloucester, and then to the de Clare family.
The advowson of the church (the right to grant the benefice) passed to the nuns of Eaton in Warwickshire (Nuneaton), but the biggest change came in 1374 when Simon Theobald, Bishop of London and a native of Sudbury, decided to found a college for training priests in his home town, located on the site of his father's house. Simon and his brother John purchased the advowson of St Gregory's from the nuns of Eaton and bestowed it on the Warden and fellows of their new college, which stood on the site now occupied by Walnuttree Hospital.
I thought these teasel would look good shown up in the flash with the brooding skies developing in the background. I really like the combination of colours and textures.
The Latin name for walnut is Juglans and derives from Jupiter glans which means "Jupiter's acorn" figuratively a nut fit for god. The word god has been mispelt over the years and should actually read "dog"...My little Charlie adores walnuts and cleverly nibbles the outer shell off before devouring the nut inside! It's quite an art! We shall return in the autumn and hopefully pick him a sack load to keep his coat nice and shiny through the winter months!
In dutch "elf" also means "eleven" (1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -1 )
