It's marmalade making time

We always serve home made jams and preserves at breakfast at Pottery House and this is the time of year when the best oranges are available for marmalade, Seville.

We've made 10 jars so far, but we've still have some oranges left over for some more.

For all of my youth a particular painting hung above the fireplace in our front room, in fact you can see it in the photo taken at Christmas some time in the early 1970's (yes, that's me, the painting is on the right above the old 1970's electric fire).
