Peaches,then breakfast...

It has taken over a few days to gradually log a bit of lego writing and a few photos.I have a few pics left of the Tree House Gallery in Regent's Park only two of which will appear here. The real life is thankfully muscling out the immediacy of the memory.
This morning we were greeted by Marie Therese at the door with a large box of peaches. There is enough jam in store, the peaches will have to be bottled in syrup. Forty stones now sit in a bowl. the fruit is contained in three jars being brought to boil in a large saucepan. Another five litre jars to go by a rough estimate,they will wait. First we will have breakfast. Anne-Sophie has preserved our very own baked beans in tomato sauce.
We have coco beans rather than navybeans and the tomatoes are also from home. We are growing more coco beans to bottle but the tomatoes will have to be frozen until the beans are ready to harvest. Fresh eggs, potatoes,fried tomatoes, toast and beans. I will see myself right with a slice of buttered bread and a little "Electric Damson" jam for afters.
