        Jam, yes, but not until late Sept. Strawbs and rasps all get scranned. Plum jam, apple and bramble. Better start saving jars…

          Jam! Hope to have enough fruit to make jam in the coming years. Only planted some bushes a few months ago, and they are still very small. Enjoying having a space to grow stuff in this year (we moved). All be it small.

            I made a chili plum and apple chutney two years ago, and it was magic. But I’m still on 2 jars. My plum last year was too runny, need to follow a recipe closer this year. Maybe with some cinammon. I made loads of crumble too, it’s a mature tree with loads of fruit

              Sounds fantastic!! I think my friend added cinnamon and/or nutmeg. She also made an indian spiced chutney with the plums.

        Wish I could. But the fallout is lasting at least a couple weeks

        Icing on the cake just clocked that if I want a linux (not android or apple) tablet I need to pay an additional $100 shipping because we thought it would be cool to give the ru the finger

    First week of my holidays done! Been quite busy. Was in at work the first 2 days to tidy up my class as I’ve not been in it since September!! Took the dog to the vet, went for lunch with a friend, did some house stuff, been a few walks, had other bits and bobs to deal with! Nice and relaxed!!
