Green beans, bag for us, bag for Mum. We've been inspecting the blackberries in the hedgerows but they aren't quite ready yet.<br />Autumn is just around the corner and I love to start preparing for the cosy evenings and long dark nights!!<br />Twiggy xTwiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065849697979313992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512151224022821706.post-68207331635866114122011-08-23T08:02:46.771-07:002011-08-23T08:02:46.771-07:00You've just given me the kick up the bum I nee...You've just given me the kick up the bum I need to go and collect some of the windfalls out of my garden, at least I would if it ever stops raining. Apple and mint jelly sounds good, I've never made that, though I have a ton of plum jelly and still some bramble and apple left from last year.<br /><br />That's a lovely piece of fabric, really pretty. Looking forward to seeing what you make from it.Lakota [Faith Hope and Charity Shopping]https://www.blogger.com/profile/04247624645636227130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512151224022821706.post-88231981932335798122011-08-23T06:12:10.883-07:002011-08-23T06:12:10.883-07:00I love this time of year, so abundant.

This last week I've been going through my finances and 'taking stock'. I'm not too bad with money and stuff but there's always ways to cut back a bit, everyone has too much stuff in this world and if we're honest with ourselves most of it is crap. I've really enjoyed your post xxThe Pea Podhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431266336870053342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512151224022821706.post-60214270861355753602011-08-23T02:20:07.249-07:002011-08-23T02:20:07.249-07:00I have a large bowl of gooseberries which will bec...I have a large bowl of gooseberries which will become a crumble for tea.

Does it really matter if they have a seam or two in, so long as they don't irritate your bottom or any other areas!<br />My old Dad used to get it in the neck from Mum for 'running' in his sleep, he used to wear the bottom sheet out rubbing his feet up and down...that alone must have got him an elbow in the ribs a few time LOL! She used to do as you have done with the sheet and when it couldn't be used as such, got made into pillowslips, dogs' bedding, cleaning/polishing rags, bycycle cleaning cloths, you name it.<br /><br />I wished you lived nearer my love, we have an orchard of really old apple/pear/plum trees and most of it is just dropping off and rotting...so wasteful. I've done as much as I can and will have another foray when I've 'processed what' in my kitchen and freezer.<br /><br />Happy preserving and watch out for the wasps!<br /><br />Sandie xxSandies' Patchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11022362234675324965noreply@blogger.com
