I thought I heard you say "scrumpy" so I went looking to see if you posted a recipe. Had to 'rewind' to discover you had said "scrumping." You can tell where my mind is at! The crumble looks marvellous. It's that time of year again when I will have to figure out how to use all the aronia berries that are almost ready. A crumble would be great, but the problem is always finding something with a strong enough flavour to offset the aronia.

Ah sorry to disappoint you with the scrumpy. Aronia berries? Now I’m off to look this up

This was so relaxing. I loved all of it. The little house on the canal, the lavender at the church, the crumble, the plants on the tow path where you moored, Archie drinking brackish water to keep his immune system strong, Rich enjoying the cleaning of the roof is a way of having some control in a mad world. I can relate. Thank You so much for sharing. Making videos isn't easy but I sure do appreciate it when you do. Enjoy the remaining days of Summer 🛥🌞

Blackberry combined with ripe pear is a perfect balance, like lemon with blueberry. The only thing I do different with my crumble as compared to what you do is I will add from 1/3 to 1/2 oats to one part flour you can do as much as 50-50 split, but I don’t. 1/3 to 1/2 does it for me. Lovely video! Thank you.
@maobfh3 күн бұрын
I said that wrong. Was commenting with voice recognition while driving. DOH!!! Some people will use as much as one part oats to 1 part flour but I prefer ~ 1/2 O to 1 F. No oats has served you well, all this time. If it’s not broke, don’t fix it!

It must be really difficult being ill on a boat under pressure to keep moving especially both of you ill at the same time. I hope CRT are sympathetic. Flu/covid really saps your energy levels. Hopefully autumn harvest in the bushes will help. You know you are on the mend when you start making blackberry and pear crumble. Looks so lovely along that canal so hope you can enjoy now. 🌻
