Jam and Chutney Season

August 23, 2023 by Michele Neylon 1 Comment

It's coming towards the end of August, so we're now into what I like to call "jam and chutney season". Admittedly you can start making jam much earlier in the year if you want to and of course the same is true of chutneys. However, being a little more traditional, I associate this time of year with tomatoes, apples and blackberries. Last year I made a variety of different … [Read more...] about Jam and Chutney Season

So Much Chutney and Other Preserves

November 13, 2022 by Michele Neylon Leave a Comment

Finally Some Decent Weather

May 8, 2022 by Michele Neylon Leave a Comment

When the weather is nice this country really can look absolutely glorious. In this kind of weather the moniker "sunny south east" is fairly accurate! So far this weekend has been absolutely lovely and the countryside has been looking picture postcard perfect! Athy is picturesque no matter what the weather, but when it's a sunny day the castle and the river look so … [Read more...] about Finally Some Decent Weather
