Jut a little Snippet of money saving ideas tonight ..... I am trying to do a little something most days, makes me think I am making the most of the hard won pennies!
We're nearly out of homemade jam from last year .... I used the last of the Damson jam (on toast - of course). So out comes the jam pan .....
I had a little bimble up the lane.... in search of something .... Blackberries maybe to go with the apples ...... and look what I found....
Lots and lots of Damsons .... a bumper crop!
I filled the little colander I had taken with me ..... when I weighed them for the jam - 4 lbs ... not bad for 10 minutes picking.
They are being stewed as I blog.... ready for the jam.
Just the cost of a bit of sugar and some recycled jars and we will have lashings of jam to see us through the winter!
An odd pic of my Geraniums..... I think they are so cheerful, I just love this old red one, its one my Grandmother had (well a cutting from a cutting - you know what I mean).
Just had to show you this little Guy ... he popped in for a visit earlier tonight.
Not a brilliant pic .. but we didn't want to upset him too much.
He came flying in ... he is huge... he sounded like a Bomber plane, real loud drone, and promptly fell into my lap.
I was very good..... I didn't scream .... but it was a bit of a eeeeek moment!
Richard rescued him and sent him on his way.... anyone any idea what/who he is?
More Damsons .... the tree is laden ..... think a bit more picking is in order.
Off to stir my Damsons .... bye for now xx
