Re: Re-introduction!

Waves at Jackie, welcome back...I'm a noob. Good to hear your recovering well.

Re: Re-introduction!

Thank you all!
I think I picked a bad time to re-introduce myself - we're still doing reno's (read hubby's doing all the work!!) and he's also re-wiring - so I've been without power at times - still will be.
BTW, this reno's been going on forever!! We'll have it right one day!

Re: Re-introduction!

Jackie darlin' - the clock is ticking!!! - renovations will need to be completed this side of winter otherwise you'll be up to your armpits in snow and ice INSIDE your house.

Re: Re-introduction!

Don't we know it!!
It's okay though, we have a nice big woodstove to keep us cosy!
And we have been up to our armpits in snow!
This pic was last winter -



Before then tho, we'd like to enjoy some more goodies from our garden - we've had lots of peas and strawberries so far!

Re: Re-introduction!

Strawberries Jackie darlin???? - Hmmmmmmm - since you have a glut of them - try making yourself strawberry Vodka. In a Kilner jar (a jar that has a lid), put about 2 Lb strawberries. Add 1 Kilo of sugar and as much of a bottle of Vodka that you can get in to fill up the jar. Over the next few days, with the handle of a wooden spoon gently stir the vodka to help the sugar dissolve. Once the sugar has all dissolved. Store jar in a cool dark place for approx 3 months - it should be ready to drink at Xmas.
