71.109 A Nordic Cranachan

Description

So much fruit. Sea buckthorn and cloudberries were met by apples, peaches and pears with sun-warmed raspberries and peppery nettles — all washed down with ice-cold lemonade. Elsewhere there was fresh linen in the sunshine and balls of Arran wool in a wicker basket. With water, we stayed outside in the sunshine, climbing a cherry tree to rub the leaves with our arms wafting freshly applied sunscreen as we rose into the sky. When our feet returned to the ground there were pineapple tarts, raspberries and cream and a cranachan summer trifle — sweet and juicy to the end.
