It was time to make the second batch of the year of Smiths’ Marmalade so today we’ve made 12lbs in a variety of sized jars, some family size, some give-away size and some just enough for breakfast in bed or for taking for friends when we all go out for breakfast together. As regular readers will know, my lovely Dad is always there in the kitchen with me when I’m making marmalade as when I was only 10 years old, he taught me how to make marmalade with him so I could get my Brownie Badge and I made it with him every year after that until I left home. 
I bought a bunch of sunflowers today and they are very cheering.
