I've got 5lb of Damsons and 5lbs of plums in the freezer! Where do you get the time to do all that already, I'm slacking obviously

Sue,
Day before yesterday we made? the drinks stuff, (but that's only a question of pricking the Damsons and soaking them in the spirit), (PS You won't need to prick the Damsons if they're frozen. The cold will do the pricking)
Yesterday we cut 65ft of hedge and did the chutney.
Today we took the hedge clippings, all 14 sacks to the tip, and I did the bottom hinge on the Hab Door.

Needs must when the hols are next week.

Are you sure they were damsons and not sloes?

Damsons are larger and you don't do impressions of a small mouthed frog when eaten. (You do with sloes, they're bitter)

Keep playing catchup Sue. @Beemobile
Today was hedgetrimmer on the front garden shrubs. Thirteen of them (we didn't do them all)
Another ten sacks to the tip.

A hedgetrimmer, oooo isn't that cheating, or am I a glutton for punishment using secateurs, and loppers too, hence only three shrubs and a forsythia, after that digging a very big hole for a hydrangea, no plums again, just blisters. How long can the fruit stand being frozen?

Thanks for that @Lisa BUT (BIG BUT) I've just seen that I have posted the wrong letter with my post so I've deleted it (and everything was going so well) Doh!

Watch this space.

Hi All,

When we were at Pershore we raised sum of £105.70 for the benefit of Prostate Cancer UK.

It's taken me a while to be able to report on here the receipt of the monies as we got sidetracked away from our holiday to do nursing duties in Stafford. For the delay, I apologize.

It will be seen from the letter received from the charity that the monies received by them would seem to be in excess to the monies sent which were raised at this particular rally.

This is because, despite me sending three separate letters from the three events of Lymington (£318) Malvern (£28.04) and Pershore (£105.70) Prostate Cancer UK sent me just one letter back, amalgamating the three sums into one final total.

In addition to the letter received, I post on each of the respective rally threads my letter to them which accompanied the cheque.
