We’re flooded with cucumbers from the greenhouse at the moment, so I’ve sliced them up and started to pickle them.  With some peppers, they should make a fine pickle for the winter.  The next glut will be the tomatoes, so chutney will be coming!

One of our cats (Buttons, the youngest one, now a teenager and up to all sorts of mischief) got tangled up in the fly paper I put up in an attempt to keep the flies at bay.  It got stuck all round her back legs and she needed a good wash to get it off.  Luckily mother cat stopped her running away or I would have had no chance in catching her.  I think it will take a long time before Buttons forgives me for that.
