This afternoon/evening shall see me trying to make a new jam, inspired by a post from notjustgreenfingers' blog. My first attempt was a disaster through overboiling the jam however that hasn't put me off! I now have some tips from notjustgreenfingers' comments and so my gorgeous husband has picked me some plums from our tree and I have my sugar so I'm ready to go! We're going bramble picking again on Saturday but I can't wait that long (yes a day I know!) so plum it is.
If we're going to aim to be self sufficient one day then I need to at least get jam right :D
The other night on the way to the livery yard (a 10 minute drive from home, everything's 10 minutes from our house lol) I had to stop and take a picture. As I keep saying, I love this time of year and this is just one of the sights I love to see.
It's been a busy few days but we're getting a little routine going on so I'm hoping to stay fresh and focussed and keeping this blog is a lovely way of recording our lives and talking about our plans for the future.
Even GH mentioned our 4 year plan to someone the other day so I suspect he's a tiny bit excited too!
Happy Friday everyone.
