Housewife's Choice

Rosehips......

I hope!  My husband had seen these on the edge of our local woods on one of his training runs and decided to follow Hugh Fearnley- Whittingstall's recipe for Roship syrup in true forraging style!  Anyway we took Little B who had a lovely run in the woods until the gun fire started (it's an army training ground) and then he wanted to go home..... immediately.  He was on the lead by this time luckily as they are felling trees in some parts and there are large signs saying dogs must be on leads for obvious reasons!  I managed to persuade him to just stand still and wait for my husband to collect his Rosehips but he wouldn't walk anywhere forward... only back the way we had come so we just stood there, him with his tail down and me feeling a bit silly as we waited for Richard to finish his harvest.  Anyway.... the syrup is made and I have cleaned the kitchen (several times).  Little B took to his bed for the afternoon and now firework pops have begun... again.
