How time flies.

So many plums, figs, tomatoes, (some green ) and apples, that I felt more chutney had to be made. So all of these went in the chopper with onions, fresh ginger chopped and mustard seed, a pint and a half of vinegar.Then one and half pounds of  moist brown sugar, a tsp of salt and pepper and simmered for 3 hours. It is delicious, cheapest chutney on the block.
Then I mowed the lawns, still mowing the lush lawns in August, just unbelievable.
Malc read about the collapse of the French government, so he quickly put something on TAG for me.
Then a local farmer arrived with Julia and his tractor with bales of hay to be stored for the donkeys' winter feed. There was great excitement with donkeys running about and kicking up their heels. I suppose to them it was the equivalent of a British Corner shop delivery.
I said to Malc I did not recognise the farmer and Malc explained he thought he had invested in a new vest, so all was explained.
Rosie runs with excitement
In between answering letters from TAG readers and posting money off in all directions. Must still send a cheque to the French grandma and her little dog, the day has flown past.
