T'is that time of year: the clocks are back, the harvest in. The last of the apples need using up as they won't keep being a bit blemished. I was given another bucket load by friends, so I decided to make wine this evening.
Do you like the pan, it's actually huge in reality? I rescued it from a skip about a decade ago. It's ideal for making jam, chutney - things that are in big quantities, and it sits on the stove a treat.
My back has eased a good bit, so it's been a few days gentle weeding & enjoying the mild weather. I got quite mucky, so that's good, but I do look a bit of a minger in the photo - I should change out of my playing out clothes for photies really & do something with the hair.
Today we needed to lift roof beams up onto the hay shed, but I'm still abit not able. But we got Jeff from down at Burnside & he helped, which is marvellous. He was telling me about jiggering his back & going to a 'cranial chappy' who fixed it pain free. He had to rush off & go to the beach before it got dark. I'll have to have a spear at him about this cranial stuff as it sounds like it could be beneficial.
It's such a clear night - looks a nigh full moon. It's nice sitting here listening to the logs crackling in the stove & the pan coming to the boil.
