We had none last year, which was tough as we usually sell enough to help towards winter food for the animals.<br />When we were in Cornwall last week we were looking for damsons to get an idea of price. The only place we could find any was in Trago Mills, Liskard, and they were £1.99 a lb and they were as small as sloes!<br />if you live nearer you could come and pick your own!<br />GillxFrugal in Derbyshire https://www.blogger.com/profile/10221169113482164565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953248892638598159.post-33837506473541315582013-09-19T09:09:08.429+01:002013-09-19T09:09:08.429+01:00Maybe an idea for the future.

Works best in cities and big towns where people can get to each other easily.Need a good group to run it.
