    Looks like a cherry plum (Prunus cerasifera.)  All plums are edible but some taste nicer than others.  Give one a try.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    It's the red fruited form of the cherry plum http://www.deepdale-trees.co.uk/trees/2016/03-Prunus-cerasifera-Nigra.html   and yes, they're edible ... see here https://www.eatweeds.co.uk/edible-cherry-plum

    Oh wow, amother plum. I wasn't sure if they were edible. Will give one a try.

    I made some green gage jam this morning. Absolutely delicious image

    Thank you

    Greengage jam is the food of the gods ........ have some on croissants for Sunday breakfast with good coffee and some nice French music on the radio (we play a Charles Trenet cd  - especially his Extraordinary Garden)  ...... nearly as good as a holiday image
