Sat here with onion bread, still warm from the oven, a generous wedge of "block bomber" (king of cheeses) and a large serving of my daughters home made chutney

I'm currently sat under a tarp with Sam and Pete in the middle of a tremendous hailstorm with a side order of thunder and lightning. Exciting stuff

Sounds great Steve - I was stripping some varnish in my (metal roofed) workshop when the heavens opened - lovely to be snug and hear it coming down
Maybe a thought for a thread - "What little thing did you enjoy today?" - All our snowdrop's are out - two little things in one day
Best to the lads!

Satisfaction of a job well done - made 14 flint and steel kits, made a pouch for a buddy, cut 10 pouches ready for sewing tomorrow ... and lunch was crumpets with a good crumbly cheddar on one, home made pesto on the other.
Added to that Lis took the ball of yarn I had spun and knitted it into a square - to make a fully functional pot grab
Aye - the little things are good

Stove full of free wood, kettle on top of it just starting to whistle gently, washing hanging from the Sheila's maid drying without needing a drier and enough diesel to keep the van going to work for the next month or so.
Its not bad.

Did a few trials of my new to me Coleman Exponent stove
Parcelled up some of yesterdays food shopping into more suitable sized pieces / portions and then vacuum sealed them for the freezer.
Next job is tonight's dinner ~ lamb and veg with homemade dressings ... and we'll soon to find out whether the pineapple and mint jelly was a good idea .

Well I enjoyed feeling the spray on my entire body whilst powerwashing the rv roof in a good wind . Felt alive and warm knowing we're a step closer.......
Glad y'all have had some 'moments' of enjoyment today. Gud elth :thumbup:

Enjoying a cold beer after a hard day emptying my house for the renovations. Writing this from the caravan on the front lawn. Going to live in this for the next 8-12 weeks.
Cheers to mountainm for the help today

Quite jealous of the black bomber.
Sat in a quiet house having put the kids to bed, spent the last two days away from them, rewiring some of the house electrics while they were at grandma's.

Yep, Pineapple and Mint Jelly's a winner. Should also go nicely with gammon

Excellent news - does sound weird - but I really like Marmite flavoured cashews so weird can be good

Have you come across / tried Bread and Butter Pickle?
If you haven't it's well worth trying
. I found a basic recipe a while back, happy to dig it out and lob it up on the forum.
