Not so hard to Swallow

Realising that Aly likes swallows, it seemed appropriate to hand over this item of jewellery that belonged to Rod’s Grandmother and then his Mother. At least 108 years old this is really a piece for Rod’s daughter to treasure.

Green Cherry-Tomato Pickles, move over Spring Gully

Tomato season was slow to get started, which meant the last lot of fruit didn’t have time to ripen before the end of summer.

Fortunately making pickles is not quite so intensive as making jam, so we were able to squeeze it into our hectic schedule before our up coming o/s holiday.
P
Very happy with the result and have had very happy recipients.

A change for Betty

Betty has held together extremely well despite being exposed to the elements 24/7 for more than a year.

My original plan was to remove her completely but she was still healthy on the inside so she got new clothing instead.

She has also changed her skin colouring, the reverse of Michael Jackson’s transformation.
