I had forgotten how satisfying making chutney is , it is another form of alchemy ,all the stirring and bubbling, choosing the spices and grinding them, walking back into the kitchen and it all smells so exotic.Izzy is working on a new design for the labels then I can take the jars of chutney and quince jelly down to the butchers to be sold. They have sold all my honey for me, The first year the bees have paid for themselves.
We have resumed working on preparing the pottery workshop, Hopefully one day soon we can get our hands back into clay and start making pots.
