Last notes:
- The new sewing machine has arrived. I went for a Toyota again as the last one lasted since 1976... Ive been so busy though that I havent even opened the box... I may leave that to the children to do. I am looking forward to getting back to some sewing sunday adventures though.
- Made lots of green bean chutney the night before last.
- Cleaned my kitchen ready to paint...
- Going to pick blueberries, damsons, blackcurrants and plums to make a mixed fruit jam this afternoon. Im calling it black jam on account of the colours... plus we pick the apple crop today and the rest of the plums.
- Lighting the fire and cooking up in the garden tonight whilst gazing heavenward for shooting stars. 'They' are having venison from the woods, Im having bean burgers and boiled potatoes with runner beans. Not sure how many more runner beans I can take????
Im smiling... hope you are too.

Happy Birthday, 2 years old, congratulations, can't wait to see your new creations - shoes and jam!
ReplyDeleteoh, and how many sewing machines do you now own....... I still have a toyota, circa about 1975!
ReplyDeleteYummy looking bickies:) Cooking in the garden sounds lovely, as does picking all that wonderful fruit.
ReplyDeletecongratulations lovely, youve done very well..i do envy your lovely array of colourful crops, and beans, i have eaten 2 lots all summer!!! we do have blackberries from our brambles! and some bramley apples!! good to see you are on track..lots of love Ange x
ReplyDeleteGreen bean chutney - now there's a thought! We've had beans every night this week and some form of sqash (marrow, courgette, butternut squash or pumpkin) most nights as well. Round here it's not a good years for blackberries so I might have to forgo my usual blackberry, elderberry and crab apple jelly that I make. And I haven't even started to pick the apples, wel done for being so organised.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary! Can it really be two years?! Lucyxx
ReplyDeleteBiscuits look wonderful I could eat one now! I miss our home in Scotland! :( Maybe we will move back!?
