Another weekend over- I just don't know where the days are going at the moment!
More fabulous weather has meant that we've crammed in plenty more fun at the arts festival, a barbeque, a trip to the National Trust village of Buscot and have been teaching Flora to ride her bike.
We've also pulled our first lovely carrot
and I've made my first ever attempt at jam-making, thanks to the in-laws' gooseberries!
It was so easy- I used this recipe, adjusting it accordingly for the amount of gooseberries we had picked.
I'm storing the jars away for some Christmas hampers.
I pull our first few carrots today - just about big enough to use, along with the first beans in a salad tonight.
ReplyDeleteNow you've made your first jam, you'll never look back.
Oh tell me!! where does the time go, I am really now getting withdrawal symptoms from papercrafting! Havent made anything in over a week.
