Their red colours are just like little gems shining in the sunlight when you wash them and the taste! Its just indulgent to bite into a ripe cherry. Anyway you might notice that this year I decided to add vanilla into the mix, the vanilla adds a real depth of flavour like you get in really expensive shop bought jams.

Moving on and growing up

Well, today was baby bug 1's last day at nursery. I got a photo of her that had been on her peg from when she started there last March - looking at that I realised how much she's grown and changed!

WOYWW 111

Another Wednesday again - eeek, where did that come from?!
