Saturday

I had asked Ben the day before is he wanted to join us for breakfast on Saturday morning and he did. His mum was going to Glasgow for some food and a show in the Kings and his Dad was getting eyes tested so he was happy to come along with us. Both S and B had the French toast shown here and I had a pain au Raisin. It was mobbed! Gave the chap in the big group that is there every Saturday his Venice book back and we had a long chat.

We popped into the new Cafe on the way back to the car, after getting to the bakery, as S wanted to experience the coffee . They are having their grand opening tomorrow and asked if we wanted to come along. They have the most stunning cat I’ve ever seen - need to get a photo of it. It’s got long grey hair and it’s friendly. Not all cats are in my small experience of cats.

The rest of the day was spent mostly faffing and making raspberry jam. There were two disasters 1. When sterilising the jars and lids I had the over too hop and the lids stuff inside melted. 2. I didn’t let the jam cool before putting the jam in it with the jars straight out of oven. The jar cracked!

Watched strictly this is it getting more interesting now all the dead wood has been filtered out.
