It's Getting Very Wet and Slippy

It's Bank Holiday Monday.

It has rained all day :(

We visited Beckett's Farm for its Funday Monday.

Nearly slipped over in the mud twice,

(If I had, it would have caused a big enough crater to have seen from the moon ;P)

We got home to dry out.

Made 3 jars of marmalade and 2 jars of lemon curd.

Still got 3 bags of bramley apples to get through yet!

 

Smelling The Coffee Beans

It's Sunday once more.

We have bags and bags of bramley apples to use,

Now to hunt high and low for tin foil pie dishes,

Two supermarkets explored, none found!

Actually found some in Wilkinson's!

Even had the time to visit my older son in M&S.

His Mocha was so nice :)

The list of school uniform is slowly been crossed off.

Less than a week to go and it's back to school and work!

 

Let's Jump Again!

It's been a busy Saturday.

Jumped on hubby even before he opened his eyes.

Got more school items for my kids.

Bought yet more books from the  book sale at my local library. (That will please my heaving book shelves)

Then off to Droitwich Spa.

Raided the charity shops for more bargains.

Had my free coffee at Waitrose.

 I have wrote over 25 labels,

for all the jars of jam and jellies we have made.

We haven't finished jamming yet either!

 Now to carry on from this morning with hubby :P

 

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.

We visited the Salvation Army Charity Shop,

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!
