I picked the last of the blackcurrants yesterday and made blackcurrant curd last night. Not an evening for standing over a bowl over a pan of boiling water. Hugh ferney watsit says simmer for at least 10 minutes to thicken. An hour and a half later.... I'm still stirring, it's slowly getting to 82c and the foxes are arguing on the lawn over meaty chunks. Sounded like a load of kids arguing in the playground. His 5 small jars turned into three and a half medium jars, but it didn't curdle and most important, it tastes great.
Have a brilliant day dove panda lily, lashing down here boo paints and glue out, no gardening for me...unless I can drag everyone to rose nursery?.....here's hoping!
Clari do you have a big brolly over your house? It's been raining here since 6am and you aren't that far away, I thought it had come from your direction

Lily - I'm picking her up from the station and we're coming here for coffee and to collect some plants, and then we're meeting up with the others here http://www.e-ruston-oldvicaragegardens.co.uk/pages/view/564/home.htm
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Oh lovely, Dove, hope you all have a great time and it stays dry for you. Look forward to pics.

MrsGarden do you have any rain ?
Might be just a big black cloud over our house
KEF - that reminds me of a Frankie Boyle joke - 'there's a huge depression over Scotland - and now for the weather'....
Rain's just started here but only light steady stuff - hope it just stays like that.
That's a lot of stirring fidget
Sounds like it was worth it though!
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Its over ours too Kef, and can still hear rumblings in the distance
Hope you have a good show Woody and that the TT wins first prize
Am half way to you Dove
Will I get to meet hunky OH? 
Hope the rain stays off for those that want it to
KEF, can't believe your under a dark cloud, it's always sunshine when your around
Blackcurrant heaven in the fidget kitchen
My first rustic dwarf (grown from seed - never tried them before) has flowered
