At this time of year I am busy taking my own advice and doing lots of preserving.
Open freezing, batch cooking for the freezer, dehydrating, chutney and jam making, drying seeds and making cider, wine and hedgerow liqueurs.

Garden Organic Masters Conference 2016
Because I am a Three Counties Traditional Orchards Champion and now a Worcestershire Master Composter ( yes I managed to get back to being one!)
I am again one of the family of Garden Organic volunteers :)
So yesterday I drove to Ryton to attend the annual conference - always a highlight of my year :)
My first workshop was on natural dyeing
I made this :)
I feel another craft interest blooming :)
Drying my dyed silk hankies on the marquee bunting line
After an excellent lunch we had more talks, another workshop choice ( I did composting creatures :) )
Then tea and cake!
An excellent day, spent with lots of friends as usual :)
