Loose ends

 Carrying on juicing today, adding some which gives a sharper dry juice, to counteract the sweetness of the others.

Tidying bits here and there, gradually being able to see the kitchen bench... until you use the space!!

Five litres, six bottles...they'll get wax on the tops tomorrow. This is the kitchen bottle rack...the bottom four rows are last year's apple juice. I found the last of the '23 vintage last week...still good!

The weather was rather miserable...

There were a few breaks in the wet and windyness,  which gave me a chance to take a few things down the garden to the workshop...but I wasn't going to stay there today with the temperature feeling like single figures, just....and getting cooler...

I sorted the apples I still have...five trays are up in the cool sewing room, three still down.

I think that I remember correctly that these ones make good apple rings...

I've started getting things together and organising places to stay for my end of month trip.

Two funerals..a cousin in Essex and a friend in Cheltenham. So I can stay with a friend in Gloucester...I phoned her and she was with her daughter in France!! But she will be back in plenty of time.  Next step book travelodges for the first leg...as it is over 400 miles I'll do that in two days.

And work out which way to go after Gloucester!!
