Prickly food
Although it’s the end of October, the weather’s still pretty warm (24C today, which is midsummer temperatures…) and we took advantage of it to head up to the Naranco, the hill that overlooks the city. We were going to pick some chestnuts…
The paths were covered in dry crunchy leaves (but no frost) and the spiky chestnut coats (sweet chestnuts are a whole lot spikier than the horsey variety). In short order we had four or five kilos, and Julio was telling us we should be boiling them and then eating them with milk and sugar. Which we will, although some will definitely be roasted.
This has been a bumper year, we scrumped a few apples and figs as we walked enjoying the last of the indian summer. Tomorrow the rain arrives from Galicia, and on Monday, they say it’ll be ten degrees colder, then on Tuesday, snow down to 13oom. Maybe on Wednesday it’ll be spring.
