Listen "Blueberry Hill"
Episode Synopsis
This podcast might be the most personal one that I have written and recorded to date. You will hear references to my childhood and times spent picking berries with my Baba & Gido. If there is one memory, forever etched in time, it is the imagery that surrounds any blueberry hill on any summer day. And for me, this only happened with the loving and caring arms of my Baba & Gido wrapped around me, as I grew up on a farm in southeastern Manitoba. Now here in the wilds of northwestern Ontario, blueberry patches are synonymous with finding and foraging for a food – that is not only bursting with flavour but packed with anti-oxidants, so they are good for you, too!BLUEBERRY HILL invites you, the listener, to a part of the world that is largely untouched, still rustic and raw. The next time you are out adventure seeking be sure to save some time, to do just that in late July/ early August so that you can find your own blueberry hill. Pick enough to make a berry crisp or a berry pie – and, I think it is safe to say that friends and family will not be far away.
