Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers….
Today J picked and then pickled some sweet peppers and some jalapeño and chilli peppers. They can be stored in the fridge for up to a month.
Then I made a sweet cucumber and vinegar pickle which can be stored and eaten throughout the year.
Friends called in with their American grandchildren
They fed corn to the Banties, cereal to the cows and took a peek at the barn. Delightful young teenagers.
Lucy and Beattie decided to show off by head butting each other in front of all of us.
First step in the sweet cucumber pickle
Slice the onions and cukes and sprinkle with salt, cover and weight down the plate and leave for four hours. More later
Jeremy grows ‘em and picks ‘em and I pickle and preserve ‘em
I have some work to do later!

Bye bye fellas
You were so good about getting into the van. Hope you have a smooth ride to Ely.
Mr J will look after you and he intends to keep you around for some time.
