Bramble Jelly

I didn't take any pictures today but No.1 sent me a picture of her toast and jam.  I made a couple of batches of bramble jelly and will make more Jam next year.  I have made marmalade successfully and there is a certain 'feel good' factor in home made things (especially where the blackberries are in the hedgerow opposite the house).

I did BP first thing, then went to get my nails done (pre -holiday colour) then drove to M&S to get a few bits.  I parked and recognised an ex-colleague's number plate in the car park and wondered if I would see her.  I am pleased to say I did and we had a lovely catch up (and a few tears) she has a lot on her plate with very elderly mother who now has dementia and was reminding me of her OH's battle with blood cancer seven years ago and what a difficult time it was for them and he is now fully better.   

I got home, starving and it was almost 2.00 and I had not eaten so had eggs and avocado on sourdough, delicious.  OH was cutting the hedge so rather than shower and do indoor jobs I helped him clear up and enjoyed an hour in the sunshine.

SIL arriving later for early visit to see care home with OH tomorrow.

Next chapter maybe?
