Back here

 Gallery duty on Friday....at least I didn't get wet on the way from the bus down to the gallery..about 15-20 minutes walk...or on the way back up the hill to the bus stop...but the rest of the day was Washing Machine weather....fewer than 50 people through the door and two sales....then the bus back into town was late...missed connection.....

Saturday morning was better! Kitchen and bathroom floor steam cleaned and doors and windows open letting the sun and (slightly chilly but fresh) breeze in....

That didn't last....it ran out of dry weather before I could cut the grass!!

So defrost freezer...oops, should have done that before cleaning the floor!! Then start freezing plums....


Just under four pounds of stoned plums done...I need to decide quickly what I'll do with the other six pounds or they will spoil.

Keeping busy again... Started cleaning and sorting bike bits for sale....

But I wish I hadn't had to come back......

  3. Your holiday in France was amazing.
    That's a grand harvest of tree ripened plums.

  4. Oh yum, plums! Do you have a dehydrator? That might be the best way to store them.

    1. The dehydrator is coming out today...I can always rehydrate to make jam or whatever.
      The first jam I made, with grandmother, was dried apricot jam

  5. Stewed and frozen - ready to make into jam (or crumble). Stewed mixed with mashed banana and dried into fruit leather. Eat them all fresh and dont leave home for a few days. Make a German plum cake. The many ways to manage a glut of plums.
