Well, to start with, I have been making loads of plum jam (I think I may have mentioned this already?)
Various family and freinds have had some of my jam, and its gone down very well. I gave some to our builders (see story further down) and one of them said the whole pot was more or less demolished within a day. He had help from his wife and two sons, and all of them adored it!!
This photo is the plums and sugar getting used to each other before the boiling starts.
A few weeks ago, we had our side path taken up, dug out, a waterproof membrane put in and a lovely new path put down on top. We did this mainly because the path was in a very bad condition, and was letting water into the foundations of our house, and making the side wall damp. We have had problems with damp on that wall for quite a long time. Hopefully it can start to dry out now!
Its now got a nice ridged concrete path that we put our initals and the year in at the top before it dried :-)
