Back to work

Hmmm...  Yet another reason not to be cheerful.  I'm not sure I fully thought the theme of this blog through when I named it, did I?!

Actually work, on the whole has not been to bad, so I guess that is a reason to be cheerful.  But enough about work already.

We went blackberry picking at the weekend and the fruits of our labours are currently sat in 3 large jars of sugar and brandy.  We are fast running out of kitchen work space as they join the 5 jars of raspberries in gin that I started a few days before.  It'll be a few weeks before they are ready but we miraculously still have a few bottles left over from last year.  I have about 3 kilos of cooking apples that my nan gave me that I have to find something to do with.  They don't make a great liqueur, unfortunately so I shall have to think a bit more about that.  All of our spuds are up out of the ground & are now bursting out of our under-stairs cupboard.  I'll be chopping & blanching a fair bit tomorrow I reckon!

Today's reason to be cheerful:  The wedding album will be completed & ordered tomorrow!!
