The best redcurrants ever

Picking the currants, Aaron and Jakob 
The currants themselves.
The red currant bushes have been incredibly abundant this year. Rain may rot the bean seeds and stunt the growth of the tomatoe but it has made incredibly plump rich red gorgeous currants. We have given a lot away as well as freezing them. Having viewed Donna Hay making blueberry muffins we reused that to make redcurrant muffins, they have been a hit with everyone. Ruth and Warren have visited and had them. Dawn and the girls have come to collect currents and they helped me make some. It has been great.

A gorgeous break in Rarotonga

Woo hoo, A holiday with no kids for 11 days. Bliss, relaxing and warm! BTW it was an early 20th wedding anniversary present to ourselves....
