What have you been up too today?

I've had a fairly busy but good day, a quick dash to the shops, followed by a nice walk with my dog, Fearn, then gardening, I've weeded half of one of the fruit patches, over the next few days I will finish weeding and them fork in some well rotted horse poo and cover it with bark chippings.

Then I will start on the decorative beds and weed all those out and get rid of some pretty but thuggish invaders and add some more plants that I actually want.

The other thing I'm doing is making crab apple jelly, we've had a monster crop this year, I've only picked about a third of them and that was a big pan full, I think anyone who cmes to the hosue will end up leaving with a pot of the stuff.

I will have to make some more chutney from all the unripe and semi ripe tomatoes I took out yesterday, I will put some over wintering onions in their place.

  • Ahh I’ve been terrible with my sleep lately so I ended up having a super long lie in today. Watched some YouTube videos of Simpsons hit and run. Also used my airwrap and hair products which have been nice to use and my hair smells nice now. Also been playing ACNH and going onto galaxy2 again now. 

  • I made my first batch of crab apple jelly today, it's beautiful, like a row of red jewels in jars, I went and picked more crab apples today and will make more over the next few days.

    It's so satisfying to have rows of jewel like preserves in the cupboard, even if some like pickled eggs are rather strange looking gems!

  • Omg wow that sounds so amazing! I hope you enjoy having your crab apple jelly and it must be so rewarding to have something you made yourself! I haven’t baked (excluding daily meals) in years! Now I have my kitchen up and running though I might actually start making some chocolate crispy cakes and muffins again. 

  • Ahh brilliant thank you for that! I will have to have a good look into this one day but I will save the link. I’d probably just get this up on my laptop or iPad more than anything!
