Strawberries mean jam making

Here is my lovely man making strawberry jam.

 

It was our second batch as we had been to a PYO farm and came home with several baskets full.

Now we need some scones to eat with it all and of course some thick cream.

Doesn't that jam look tempting.

Shhhhh don't mention diet!

 

 I found these very pretty dishes and the jug, which is our new utensil jar as our other one fell to pieces. I had bought it many years ago in Portugal. This one and the bowls are perfect for our updated kitchen. I found them at a very nice garden centre when I was lunching with a friend.

 

They are so pretty and bright and quite beautiful.
It was a really nice time with her, I have known her for years and we meet once a  month for lunch. We like to try new places and this one on Wednesday was very nice. Lush coffee and walnut cake with coffee to finish! Opps not the diet but a special day out with my friend. We then crossed the road to this rather nice garden centre and spent a very happy hour looking at the plants and then all the pretty knick naks, books, cards and pictures inside. And when I saw these I didn't need to look twice, I loved them from the first moment  I saw them. It was a perfect day, although ordinary in some ways.

I like my life to be full of spectacular ordinary days that are sprinkled with special days.
Happy days
