Things are starting to take shape on a current project. Out of the mud, a long forgotten corner of a garden is beginning to reveal itself.

We are all really excited with how things are going.

Yes, this whole area was hidden, it's now becoming connected to the main garden and terraces

Quince jelly and membrillo on the go...

Mashed quince piled into a muslin in a colander over a saucepan

Muslin tied up and hanging clear of the pan so the juice can drip through.

I think he'll be brilliant, he's certainly keeping me on the edge of my seat 🤣

I think stand-up comedians are very observant and quick, so those could be great attributes and his personality can cover that up.
