    It took four hours, but the cottage is done. Everything. The whole lot. *glow*

    I have dropped off a document for product testing (what I thought info), dropped DD's shopping in at PO to go back then went to Morries then dropped in to the place I pick Blackberries.
    I didn't even get as far as the long hedge; just inside the wall there were bramble LADEN with HUGE fruit.
    They are now simmering in a stock pot and a pan (too many for stock pot!) with cooking apples (for pectin) ready to make into jelly.

    Right I'm stopping for the evening, seeing as HE's been home since 6pm and hasn't even started making dinner yet!!! I'm starving and it's only blinking stir-fry. He's just annoyed me by making salad first, he said at 6pm that he'd do 30mins in the garden, have a shower then make dinner....EUGH!!! (hungry pregnant women are not good company).
