Morning all . 8.30 here so I'm not up as early as it seems.
Ordinary sugar (85p/kg from Aldi is the cheapest I've found) is fine for plums as they have plenty of pectin. Never tried fig jam - you must have a brilliant crop to have enough for jam!
Morning all. Dry but cloudy here. Off to work earlier and staying longer so may not get much done later. Grass needs cut though so I'll try to get that done.
Where do you live Steve?
Chicky - don't think he's properly fit and focussed yet. Where's the fire? I've not heard about that.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I'm in Belgium at the moment but live in Lancs. In the middle of an odyssey, visiting London (twice), Southampton, Belgium and Plymouth, as well as various small ports.
Glad I'm not in Sheffield - sympathy to those who are......oh - is there a fire there too?
(Actually some of my most enjoyable moments have been near Sheffield - singing in pubs at Dungworth ans Outibridge near Christmas)

Hi again, Fairy it's a fire in an industrial unit in Sheffield, concerns about how much plastic has been burning, locals advised to stay indoors.
