the cook

todays grillchef was the littlest of us. She did a great job and only my sausage ended up in the ashes (which is also why it ended up being my sausage, of course)
After bit of a lie in and a nice breakfast together we were out in the orchard all day. The children picking our apples for the winter, some apples for our elderly neighbour because we have his favourite kind, some more nuts and then preparing jars for me to make jelly. Littlest did us the favour of taking the neighbours' boys home and then playing with them there so we have no strange art installations in the middle of the road today and my clothes pegs are safe. The day has ended with sausage, chips and salad, a few apples to shake down, maybe some jelly, definitely a bottle of wine...but that's all still to come.
Soon harvest will be over and the dark nights will be here and then I can start commenting and blogging and stuff again - I'm looking forward to it!!
