Super excited to say that Shop Local Bath have invited us to have a shelf at their one day chalet event at @bathchristmasmarket on Saturday 7th Dec. The chalet will be next to Bath Guildhall.
If my TENS licence comes through I’ll take my boozy baubles. Definitely my foraged preserves gift packs. 🎁🎄

Just something I was thinking about when walking the dog this morning. Off to my barn for the day now. Got sloe gin to decant 😋

Thank you, Matthew. To all my followers: don’t just bookmark this recipe. Share it, repost it, pass it on to future generations! And if you’re looking for a Christmas present, I cannot recommend @ethicureanlife.bsky.social’s book highly enough. I made hundreds of jars of dark plum chutney.
