Although the rain arrived later than predicted with us, I still managed (with the help of some delightful young friends), to turn those baskets of Seville oranges into a vast quantity of delicious marmalade…..(another batch here, ready for skimming, bubbles away on the cooktop).

As well as to make the Christmas Cake! Now my china cupboard smells like heaven….the cake baked, cooled, fed with extra brandy, wrapped in a tea towel and tied up with string!
How I love rainy days…..I just wish we had more of them…..
