Happy Sunday
followers! Been feeling crabby with my cold and Levi being away in Germany on a conference, but am on the
mend and I got the hubby back last night. Busy week with classes and prep,
catching up with old colleagues Friday, and the lovely Sophie and Arran in
Plymouth yesterday (we had an amazing lunch of fresh fish and chips at the
Ship http://theshipplymouth.co.uk/) so
having a lazy Sunday so far with a trashy Wendy Holden novel and some crumpets.
Foraging wise, have picked the last of the
crab apples I could find over hanging the cemetery wall near my house. Made me
think of Elaine's status on FB recently: Protip from an old
lady on the bus re: blackberrying: "Go to the churchyard! They're twice as
big there, and very tasty, because of all the bodies!" And true to form,
these apples are very yummy. I now have a proper jelly muslin cloth (the pillow
case was looking a bit sad) and have made a small jar of crab apple jelly which
I was pleased with because I really didn't have that many apples.
My cherry liqueur collection on my kitchen sill
Other
news, damson gin going well. Have also put on the second batch of black cherry
liqueur as the first one seems to be getting on so well. Have roasted my
acorns, and am now saving up to buy a second hand food processor to make them
into flour. The hubby thinks I'm mad, but I've told him to get me one for
Christmas and in the meantime am keeping an eye on Gum tree....
Cherry picking on Monday
My cherries! Om Nom Nom
Anyhow
am off for a nice walk with my bucket and hubby! Have a good week! x
