• Friday 13 October 2023 Bread Baking & Blackberry Jam Wren had been busy over the weekend, and the children were thrilled to arrive and see their Hapa Zome bunting hanging from the new kitchen roof - they were keen to identify the flag they had contributed & identify the different types of leaves. Having brought in their lovely blackberries, the Brimstones & Orange Tips set to work peeling the apples, pouring in the sugar and then squeezing in the juice of a lemon then the ingredients were put in the pan & heated over the campfire. It was fun to watch it begin to bubble and become a sweet, gooey, fruity goup ready for putting in jars so we could all take a pot home to share with our families. The next step was to get to work baking our bread - patience and resilience were the order of the day! And all the while our new resident Robin watched over us eyeing up any dropped crumbs that he might make a merry meal of later!!!
