Sorting through a week’s worth of photographs from the trip to Gerlingen with Seaham Town Council, editing down to several sets including a gallery of photographs to rescan to create the exhibition. I’m thinking sometime in the winter, maybe November will be too soon, so perhaps February. These photographs aren’t part of the selection, but one or two might make the slideshow of my talk, the wonderful late summer ripening fruits in gardens in this pretty town are worth sharing.
There’s some sort of pumpkin festival, including soup eating and probably drinking too, tho we didn’t quite catch up with what that was all about. These last two are iPhone photos, made with the Camerabag app. That iPhone is becoming a popular camera, and it’s easy to see why.
The obligatory visit to a winery, a weingut: the Baumgartner’s family estate (website made by Esther) in the rolling green countryside of Sachsenheim-Hohenhaslach. Quite a mouthful, in more ways than one. Beautiful place. The wine: if you’re at Number Seven over Christmas there might be a taste. It’s scrumptious, especially the rose.
These are quince. They’re bitter, and hard, but make a wonderful aromatic jelly that you can slice or cube, to eat with cheese. Haven’t seen any hanging on trees in years: probably the 1980s, also in Germany.
