A busy but pleasant day
Today has varied between very busy and has left me little time, so much so we ended up having a very late tea. More on that below.. I ended up going into town as I had run low on jar lids again. So I legged it in, and managed to get six packs of 12 jar lids which hopefully will keep me going for the foreseeable. I have though decided that from the beginning of the New Year that I am going to buy a few each month and stockpile them so that I have them ready for doing what I need to throughout the year. I have to be realistic on this score as I have not done as much preserving as I would normally do. I have not been able to locate any Kilner or Ball seals both extra large and standard for sometime. I am hoping to be able to get my hands on some more soon otherwise that is going to put a stop to any canning or bottling not that I can do a lot because of a lack of jars having lost so many in the fire and not being able to readily replace them as I am just...
