It's been a bright and breezy day here chez Casa Reynard, and we largely dodged the showers.
I slept well and overslept somewhat. The morning was spent doing the chores that I didn't do yesterday, plus I had to re-jig my apple store to accommodate what I picked on Saturday. All the fruit was checked at the same time, and some damaged ones were pulled out. They will be heading towards a crumble.
Lovely luncheon of bread & butter, marinated anchovies, an apple and a
Spent most of the afternoon making apple & greengage jam. After that, I popped out to the community orchard to pick blackberries. I probably ate as many as I picked, because they are bloody lovely. A portion of those will be joining the aforementioned apples in a crumble. I'll be going back later in the week with a step ladder, as there is so much fruit that I can't reach. I plan on freezing a few tubs' worth (about a kilo in total) to use for puddings and preserves at a later date.
Blueberry pancakes for supper.
A quiet evening is planned.
