Ever so pleased with myself

My OH and I are doing a lot of work preparing for Christmas. We've been out picking haws, rosehips, crabapples, sloes and blackberries like mad.

We put a whole pile of blackberries in a jar with some whisky about a month ago and just bottled some lovely blackberry whisky at the weekend. I decided it was a sin to throw the blackberries out so I made jam with them. It's delicious.

I'm so pleased I was able to get the blackberries to work for me twice because it took blooming ages to pick them!
My Doctor told me that "1 out of 3 people who start smoking will eventually die." The other two apparently became immortal.

    Hiya :)

    This is a good thread to move across to our brand new Christmas Forum, so I'll do that now :)
