140. A little mystery...
What, or more accurately whose, is this? (On top of the turkey house.) Incidentally, a couple of people have asked if they can have an email when I make a new posting. I tend to post every Tuesday, and if you would like an email update then please let me know.
139. Storing apples...and Jammy Jemima...
We have been picking and storing our apples in our new cupboards. Hope Monty Don would approve. Having joined the Northern Fruit Group (NFG), I asked about storing apples with potatoes and tomatoes. Neither is great but storing them with tomatoes is a definite 'No'! Tomatoes give off ethylene and degrade apples significantly (almost as much as storing them with bananas). Sarah has been making jams. Under a pseudonym (Jemima), she entered the village competition with a jar of blackcurrant jam. She won first prize, and insists that there were at least 5 entries. Jammy!
138. Another bit of the jigsaw puzzle...
After winning an ebay auction, we've got a new freezer. And it fits. I can now go and pick blackberries with abandon (373 litres of them). (And if anyone wants an upright freezer (1460mm x 600mm x 600mm) we've got a bargain.)
137. Chicken tricks...
The chickens have decided that laying eggs is beneath them. They have taken up tricks... Well I was impressed. And you should have seen what I didn't capture on film...an impression of Michael Gove. Very impressive flapping!
