Pickled onions are done 13 ks tomato chutney done 5 ks elderberry cold mixture 2 Lr …..damson wine 2 gallons (up to now) damson jam 8 jars , rhubarb/strawberry/gooseberry/red currant jelly 7 jars , bramble jelly 8 jars , rhubarb / strawberry jelly 6 jars , damson/apple jelly 6 jars , strawberry / apple jelly 5 jars …...Yes Mary been busy ! …….1 gallon damson gin , 1 gallon cherry gin , 1 gallon sloe gin .

All generators (4) serviced and ready , bought 30 lengths of red western cedar to make more hives ……......the two existing hives are doing well, so another three hives for the bottom ground should do well without much more effort .

next up is new stock of fuel and that will complete the winter prepps (something YOU should consider ) . Bought more AA and AAA rechargeable batteries along with charging facilities for the newly refitted solar setup for mainly coms.
