Day at the beach and tomato sauce

This beautiful beach is less than two miles from the farm. We spent the afternoon there today with the family and we had a barbeque. There was hardly a soul around.


This morning we managed to prepare 8 pounds of tomatoes to make tomato sauce. It took quite a while to thicken and had to be finished when we got home.

I am using my lovely Cath Kidston labels....another great birthday present.

I`ve been making a lot more fairy crowns. They seem quite popular. Here are the helichrysum flowers drying in our garden room.

We may be staying in the shepherd`s hut this weekend. Will keep you posted.

  2. We didn`t get to the shepherd`s hut. It was occupied. Just as well as I was cooking cupcakes and scones for all the family visitors and Steve was still pickling!! Made 4 more jars of sauce today. Hopefully be self-sufficient.
