Making Beautiful Music Together....

Enjoyed a half price breakfast at Webb's this morning,
So to burn THAT breakfast off,
Hubby and I have been doing what we do best,(besides that ;))
Making lots of jam, jellies, and lemon curd.
My children were happily watching "Aliens in the Attic" again.
Just as we sat down to rest our weary selves, 
One of my sons asked what we had been doing in the kitchen.
"Making beautiful music together" I replied!

Feeling The Plums

Today has been a mix of showers and sunshine.
Hubby has been attempting to get more greengages off the tree,
As soon as he goes up the stepladder, it starts to rain (heavily)
So with the 4 kilos of greengages they picked yesterday,
we made over 8 jars of jam!
They are being stored  for the winter months,
When it's freezing cold and snow on the floor.
We will be eating a lot of food containing  jam to keep warm!

Licking The Spoon..

Today we have been picking fruit,
Then making jam.
We have a plum tree heaving with red plums.
So out went hubby and our son, picking them.
I had my jam pan ready.
Once that tree was stripped of fruit.
We now move onto the greengage tree.
More jam and jelly to be made.
Wait until we move onto the pear tree....

Busy With My Warm Hands!

Today was to get more school uniform and get my book published.
Got some white shirts and black trousers.
We got some size 10 and size 9 adult trainers for P.E.
Now to get this book proof read!
Left hubby alone for an hour, and the book was read.
Fingers crossed it will be on Amazon tomorrow.
Now to celebrate with hubby, using my warm hands!

Twit Twoo....

Making the most of Hubby's holiday, and a Friends and Family Train Card,
We jumped on the train to Birmingham.
Had a lovely all you can eat at Ming Moons.
Then we walked it off by going to see the new Birmingham Library
We took photos of the different coloured owls that are everywhere. 
Then it started to rain again.
Hubby has so far proof read my new book to Chapter 5.
He has got to read another 15 chapters yet!
Already planning book 6!
Now to use the hubby to get more ideas for it ;P

It's Getting Well Steamy In Here!

We got up early on  Sunday morning (must be mad!)
We visited the car boot at Long Marston.
Next was to get the refund for the coffee I was charged for last week at Waitrose.
I did however have a cheeky free coffee, and got loads of reduced food.
We looked around Stratford Upon Avon before it started to rain.
I had a battle on my hands with a woman in the food hall in Marks and Spencer
I had got most of the reduced food, even before she reached for what was left!
I came back to finally finish book 5 of The Sleepily Village Mysteries.
My hubby is proof reading it at the moment.
He replied,"There is a LOT of SEX in this one!".
I winked, and said, "We can practise some of what you 
have read so far.....later ;p"

What A Way To Go....

Today we went out in the sunshine.
First stop we visited Alcester .
Had free coffee at Waitrose.
Got some interesting books from the charity shops.
Then off to Evesham.
We enjoyed looking around and getting bargains.
Had a picnic by the river.
We just got back to the car before the rains came.
At the moment, I have a dilemma.
I nearly have finished my new book.
However, I have to kill off a Cad,(bounder, unloving toe-rag) character.
I could do a easy quick death???
or
A slow, painful death......?
