Fruit from the trees

Monday, August 17, 2009

Well I was outside the other day, and my neighbours dog came up for a fuss. When my neighbour caught up with her dog we got chatting. She has apples, plums and pears in her garden, and at the moment one of the plum trees is ripe, and dropping fruits and inviting plenty of wasps! She has said that I can help myself to the fruit.

So yippee, I can start to make a few crumbles, jams, and chutneys with the things from the gardens.

I am already using my lettuces, carrots and onions out of the garden. So next year I hope to also grow more.

At the weekend I went to Daventry and mooched around the charity shops. Found a large piece of fabric, about 4m for £2!!! So some new project to tackle.

Tomorrow there is a coffee morning in the local church rooms, although I am not a member of thier church, it is a place for me to meet others, and get to know the people who live near me.

I have managed to put some of my cushions on the Internet to sell. ? if they will of course.

About Me:

I recently "downshifted" into a small cottage in a village with no shops, where I have a garden that is somewhat wild. I have been very ill, and have been unable to work for the last 10 months. With out an income from my old job, I am learning how to save, make do and mend! I have 4 children, nearly all grown now, and two grandchildren.
