Bee Happy

I had a lovely surprise on Friday. I had covered a workmate (and friend's) job on Wednesday and Thursday as she had been committed to work elsewhere. Look what she brought me back as a thank you!

Bush honey from Tenterfield, she said she saw it as she was driving and thought of me. Must mean I am sweet! Ha Ha! How nice is she? I am delighted and a lovely end to a busily weird week! Thank you Kim!

Jam

Strawberry jam is done. Smells and tastes delicious, I wonder if it tastes even better because we, as a family, picked the fruit ourselves this morning? I think so! I love jam making so much and can't understand how anyone could not. It is fun, rewarding and easy. And as long as you are using seasonal produce its pretty cheap too! Love It!

Sunday Strawberry Picking

In Friday's local paper there was an ad inviting people to come and pick their own strawberries this morning for $6 a kg. Yep only $6 a kilo! Well we went out this morning (minus Wes who had important teenage boy stuff to do) and it was really fun!Strawberries everywhere! Yum!

Amelia was picking, she restrained herself - we all did - and didn't have any taste tests!

Dave started loading up his shirt at one stage!

The smell is so gorgeous - really strong.

We ended up with 2.8kg of strawberries. You bring your own containers and they weigh them empty so that you don't pay for their weight. Not that they care too much as she only charged us for 2.5kg.

Thinking strawberry shortcake or strawberry muffins or strawberry milkshakes/smoothies or pavlova or any yummy strawberry thing. We will head out next Sunday and get another lot as I will make a batch of jam with them!
