A lovely autumn morning ....

I discovered an abandoned hop plant on my walk home. It was hidden, lost within a more aggressive creeper, on a tall metal boundary fence but nevertheless had some juicy hop cones hanging from it. I picked a few that were within reach and will try them in a brew once they've dried out a little. I've no idea what variety they are though...
