Cool.......very cool.......

Now this was how cool it was today, even my babies needed a blanket to sit in the sunshine!

I have to be honest, I didn't spend long outside today, the wind was absolutely biting.

I took the time to thread the Goji Berry through some framework hubby put up for me in the sheltered garden, the branches are so long and thin they were leaning all over the place.

I also took the time to clean out the chook pen, plant some more carrots, basil, celery, strawberries, onions and peas, potted a celpar for a collegue at work and did the usual domestic engineering duties (yes, housework lol).

And I took the time to do up some Prunes in Port, something my folks love.

Very simple recipe, just bring to the boil 1/3 cup brown sugar, 3 cups of any good Port, 2 cinnamon sticks and some orange and lemon peel. Once it has reached the boil pour it over the prunes in your jars, lids on and let it sit for a few months. I am told it is delicious, however since I dislike port I will never know lol.

The garden is really starting to take shape, I can finally see the last 2 years of hard work beginning to pay off, with the trees and shrubs finally settling in and putting on a lot of growth......some photos next week, I ran out of time this weekend:)

Hope your week ahead is a good one.
