Bilberry and Banana Teabread



Self Raising Flour,

Melted butter

About three bananas

Light Muscovado Sugar

Walnuts or Pecan Nuts

3 large Eggs

A couple of handfuls of bilberries

Quantities as preferred.

Each time I've tried this it tastes the same but the fun is in the fact that it looks different. If you put the chopped bananas in the mixture after the rest has been well blended I think it helps to keep the mix fairly stiff.That may help the bilberries to stay well spread out. They of course just get thrown in at the end before cooking (160C for 45-50 mins).

Purple Poos

Walking along the once springy and pleasant paths of Blacka at this time of year it's common to find purple poos. I've always assumed these came from foxes who've been gorging on bilberries. This morning coming round a corner I saw a young fox with it's head in the bilberries. As usual he was off before the camera could be pulled out.
