Go tomatoes!!


Forgot to mention yesterday, the tomatoes are still with us, I am probably tempting fate by saying this but I am so chuffed - by August my toms are usually dead in a blackened state of blight and decay - obviously I'd rather they were a rich rosy red
colour but you can't have everything...and green tomato chutney is quite nice..Just thought I'd share that moment of joy with you...

iphone knits


Latest project - cute knitted iphone covers, have made quite a few for friends and family in various colours, have been making them to order as they are so speedy to make - very practical too!

We now have a large stock of Strawberry and Blackcurrant Jams thanks to our family plots..I have been v busy with the jam making, very delicious!
Freezer is also now stocked with gorgeous Gooseberry pie and Crumbles...can not wait for Blackberry season!
Oldest daughter returned from her first festival on monday v tired but she loved it!
