    As long as you didn't forget the petrol........

    Culinary question - 3 kilos of raspberries in a pan to make coulis.  How little sugar can I get away with and can I preserve it in jars or do I have to freeze it?

    Not a coulis expert I’m afraid 😦 

    spent another happy day weeding - my borders are now finally tidy - yay 🎉🎉🎉.  LG I’ve put a few snaps on the garden gallery.  Warm out there again, but clouded over now.

    Am very excited that the monster rose (pauls himalayan musk) that I planted 9 years ago to climb up a tree has finally reached the summit.  This gardening lark certainly teaches you patience  o:)

    @Obelixx ... I wouldn't use less than 1 tablespoon icing sugar per 200 g raspberries ... and yes, you need to freeze it in usable amounts ... it will keep for a few days in a fridge, but not for long.

    Hi folks,  Beautiful day here.  Got lots done in the garden, weeding, cutting back pyracantha, sowing foxglove seeds and taking penstemon cuttings. 
    Had a good gossip with Bestie, sorting out train times as we are off to Gardener's World at the NEC on Thursday.  Anyone else going?

    Good evening. Been on Aunty duties so read back about 100 posts! Seems like plenty going on with you all. 
    Been reading about the predicted hot Summer... I think they say it every year don’t they? 
    Just off have cherry pie and cream - will check in later, if I’m not in a sugar and pastry coma!

    Hehe @Dovefromabove  - I can’t promise there will be any left as I’ve worked out that with the sleep lost and calories burned this weekend, I am entitled to eat a massive amount! 🍒🥧
