It's Marmalade Time

We know guests love our home made orange marmalade and it's that time of year that the seville oranges are in season.

They're only available for a short period so we have to make the most of them when we can, the whole house smells of orange at the moment.

This year as well as the standard orange we've made orange and orange and coriander. The spice gives and extra warth and really brings out the orange flavour.

As always we've made a few extra jars to sell so if you stay with us over the coming weeks and months be sure to pick up a jar to take home.

It was painted by my father, he was an amateur oil painter but only ever painted 3 paintings.


After Mum (on the right) passed away in 1995 the painting ended up  in my attic and it's pretty much stayed there over the years, even here at Pottery House.


It didn't really mean much apart from the memory of it always being on the wall at home, until I showed it to a close friend and he immediately said "That's Lower Falls in Glen Nevis".


I had to investigate so one…

Who Ate All The Peanuts

Image
It's strange, lately the peanuts in the squirrel feeder in the garden have been disappearing really quickly recently.

Then a couple of days ago I noticed this...


Looks like a bit of a fat squirrel.

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.
