Bees are all over our herb bed, and a collared dove has been calling.
House martins nesting under the eves.

Prynhawn da, afternoon all.
Very windy here but nothing like as bad as some places.
I‘ve made 18 pots of marmalade so far, and one more lot of oranges to go. When the world is going mad, such things are a comfort. Stay safe.

I cut a few corners yesterday, halved, poached, cooled the oranges, scooped out and sieved the pulp, and put the peel through a food processor. This morning I finished the marmalade and it’s good. 9 jars of tangy deliciouness!

I’m currently nursing a fractured foot so between hobbling round in a huge boot I’m improving the shining hour by knitting socks and listening to the radio.

I stayed mostly off social media today, spent time with friends in the crisp chilly sunshine, & feel better for it. The world hasn’t all gone mad, just the villains who grab the handles of power.
