With the new moon/ dark moon, brings the end and beginning of things. A time to create and a space to lay things to rest.

I've rediscovered my love of preserving and am pretty please with the results... and my wonderful little helper - Morgan.

 Last night I completed the steps in making strawberry and raspberry jam and mustard pickles. Its these two things that really feel "homely' to me.. real comfort foods.. Though I can't eat them at the moment.. they will keep.. and I've already promised bottles to some folk - the joy of cooking - giving it away to people who enjoy it.

Mar Mar always had a batch of mustard pickles on hand. I have fond memories of her brown bread, sliced thick with slabs of butter, fresh boiled eggs and smothered in mustard pickles... Mmmmmm

So, below is a pic of my newly made jars of love. Something sweet and something sour..

Age would love to hear from you!

Over four weeks now in hospital and no matter how pretty those physios are or cute the med students are, things can get a bit dull for Age......

There is the high possibility he will be moved to the rehab hospital today, if not, then this week.

In any case, please call him in his mobile as he has it on all the time, as well as skype him. He likes to talk on skype alot better as if you have the facility, you can see him - and communication is always better when you can see someone.

His skype is his name adrian.evett

Age sees the kids - with good news

Small steps is what we are all after- and it was wonderful to be able to see Age so happy to see the kids tonight.

They miss their dad so much...

Some great news received today was that he may be transferred to Eden Rehab as soon as Monday... So at least then it will only be a forty min drive one way to visit , rather than three and a half hour one way..
