summer saturday

Such a lovely day... I made 7 large greengage crumbles for the freezer out of our trees sudden fruitfulness and three small pots of tomato puree to reduce the tomato mountain.

Couldn't help reflecting that what with buying the plants, Ian and Bob's planting and watering, Ian's staking and picking the toms; my blanching to peel and core them, then the simmering for several hours, that these small pots are probably very expensive. Tomato puree cost about 29 cents. But it was a gentle pleasure.

Afterwards, hey-ho to Margaret and John for apero: the tribe gathered and much delight was taken in their company. From there I stumbled to T Rex, where Zoe and Chris were taking us to dinner. They and their babes are off to Spain today so it was a farewell pressie - here is young Kitty Moon encanting some sort of spell.
