as the days are beginning to shorten, and the summer which was waited for, but never really appeared is coming to an end. i felt the need for warm slippers in lovely bright rainbow colours.
i have also been;
jam making,
baking,
pickling,
packing,
and preserving like a woman possessed. as winter really does approach i am getting desperate to keep a little summer sweetness jared up for colder darker times.
blackberry and apple jelly,
hedgerow jelly,
hawthorn ketchup,
strawberry jam,
pontack, (a new recipe)
pickled beetroot,
mint syrup,
and mulled pears.
i have also been spending some quality time with my little artist who at the age of 2 and a half has finally managed to draw some beautiful pictures of his papa. i love the movement that small children bring to their art.

fantastic art work.... i have a little picture that my youngest drew of us all (her little family) when she was about the same age and i carry in around always... so precious.
Golly you are possessed - what a great lots of preserving... i have lots of apples... any suggestions?

cider, but living in the west country that would be the obvious suggestion. otherwise there are loads of chutney recipes using apples as a base. i agree with you about the preciousness of our childrens art. i do feel very proud. by the way we have both (my sister and i) really been enjoying your blog. how are the book sales going?
Those pears look absolutely yummy!
