An early post today but already been plenty busy with a lovely dog walk as the sun rose and Monday cooking underway. I got the blackberry jelly done yesterday with something over a kilo of blackberries from the hedges across the road and that is setting nicely. I've got to get a few more berries today to use in the blackberry vodka, something I did last year and which was lovely, more akin to a liquer than spirit.
Juno and I were out early and walked a couple of miles but were a bit too early for the flights of canada geese overhead, heading across from Verwood and onwards. They look and sound spectacular in the silence of the early morning.
The kidney beans and chickpeas are on the go too, ready for a chilli later, some to be frozen, which will go with the jacket potatoes at teatime, alongside some roasted tomatoes and granola, making use of the oven being on, looking to be as frugal as possible with the use of energy.
Time to make some more plans for the cider press event in a few weeks time. That is looking like it's going to be fun.
