Marmalade Time

The marmalade oranges are currently in the shops, but they don't last long. So now is the time for us to make marmalade for the summer season.

Tried a new recipe this year, hope it's ok, tastes great to me.

We even have a few jars left over for sale, if any guests would like them.

Of course it's not, we've found the culprit. A pine marten has discovered the feeder and been helping himself to all the nuts.
