do you think maybe...


they want inside?
Well I know for a fact they do...they love cat biscuits & eye up the cat with envy through the kitchen door!

These girls are keeping us in a good supply of eggs still with on average 2 eggs a day wahoo!

We have been 'collecting' or 'harvesting' Autumn supllies over the last 24 hours - walnuts, crap apples, apples & quinces. Looking forward to processing some of these into jellies, snacks, pastes and desserts over the next 48 hours... just need a little more sugar & a big pot!

Crab apple jelly ... my Nana used to make that many, many years ago ... I still remember seeing the mutton cloth and muslin sitting over the big metal bucket in the laundry tub ... haven't thought about that in a while. Nana used to strain them twice ... ooh-la-la --- crab apple jelly and whipped cream on scones ... yummy!!!
