I am the original wicked step-mother and both children moved into live with us not long after we moved in together. They are now independent but that does no stop us celebrating Christmas or sending red cross parcels. I am glad I have inspired you to have a go again every little helps and you just take things at your own pace you do as little or as much as you want to do. I have also found that a lot of my friends and acquaintances like a pot of home made something but don't want to go to the bother of making something so that makes an easy Christmas present for me to give to them. I just love cooking and feeding people and playing particularly with the preserving which is my passion. I have to be doing something I think I take after my Nan in that regard. Keep up the good work.<br /><br />Pattypan xxPattypanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533048669555871726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703817848238285099.post-71888892074205632902017-08-16T18:24:33.875+01:002017-08-16T18:24:33.875+01:00Hi Angela, I shall look forward to your post on th...Hi Angela, I shall look forward to your post on the local tree festival and that people are getting involved it makes all the difference. Glad you have also managed to squirrel away some goodies for the pantry. I am glad its not you in the cupboard an extreme version of little Jack Horner! Look forward to reading about your further plans too. Take care and I see you have been down to Wells Next the Sea. Its a favourite spot of ours as well. Take care.

Theres a sideboard and it was full of nothing if you know what I mean, so its now sorted and had room for my jampots.<br />The wee boiler room off the kitchen is my main storage area and its had a real good clean out too and Ive room for the foodmixer to sit on a shelf in there instead of away in the back of a cupboard.<br />I do make bread and jams and grow things but you have encouraged me to do far more.<br />Love, Jean Hettybakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14285303588806317431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703817848238285099.post-80945368635733286692017-08-16T08:00:50.049+01:002017-08-16T08:00:50.049+01:00I have started planning the tree which our church ...I have started planning the tree which our church will decorate for the local tree festival. I'll be blogging about that soon. Really pleased that lots of people have already got involved. Before I left for my holiday, our Wilko had sold out of green wool. Since arriving on holiday, I have been foraging in the hedgerows, and have made a dozen jars of chutney. Now maturing in a cool, dark cupboard [the chutney, not me!] other plans still ongoing, yet to be started... <br /><br />Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.com
