Shed, pickles


Meant to blog this yesterday, but forgot! Anyway, our bike shed is now up and has bikes in it - which is great, as it means there is space to move in the old shed. Which is good. Eventually, we will have a second patio at the front of that shed (actually, there's a slab of concrete there now, but we will eventually pave it and add some chairs or a bench and a small table, etc.)

And also, pickles! We picked cucumbers yesterday at Garsons' (as well as red & black currants, apples and various vegetables - lots of baking in my future). And then we came home and picked blackberries in the next road over, for free. Made some summer fruits sorbet last night and am just off now to make a summer pudding for lunch tomorrow (we have a guest). But we decided to make some pickles yesterday - this time, did the cucumbers and the cauliflower separately so I could put dill with the cuke pickles - some how cauliflower pickled with dill didn't really appeal...
