"I got the blues thinking of the future, so I left off and made some marmalade. It's amazing how it cheers one up to shred oranges and scrub the floor."

It's January again so that means marmalade-making time. Sue's been up to her elbows in it but it's a new recipe (she lost last year's!) so we're keeping our fingers crossed. Joke, actually, as it's delicious. But it is a very sticky process. Somewhere between 50 and 60lbs of marmalade to see us through until next year. The Maslin pan has gone away until the soft fruit season and we can start picking gooseberries, raspberries etc.
