Saturday morning after a good night's sleep, and good breakfast we headed south to Bungonia, where the Jacobs have a block of land (a bit of bush), Underhill, where they go to relax on weekends, and bring friends like us to experience the bush. They enjoy growing fruit trees here also. With a variety of animals living in the area, the trees are protected by fencing so they can begin to grow and eventually bear fruit. It was time to check the fruit trees for any remaining harvest.
Surrey, Barre, and Geoff went in the truck in order to pick up chicken feed on the way. Betty and I took the car, with a lunch and plenty of drinks packed in the esky. We made the trip knowing it would be hot, but planned to return after lunch in the early afternoon. We succeeded in harvesting the remainder of the apples (very few), and then picked the damson plums. These will then be used to make a delicious jelly. After a leisurely lunch, we packed up our leftovers, and headed home. Ice cream stops, both going and coming, gave a brief cool relief from the heat.
