The hardest part of my week this week has been thinking of things to do with black currants. We only have two bushes. That should be just right for a family of black currant lovers. This year they have been in bumper, berry overdrive. Which is good. But now the freezer is filled with frozen berries, there's a line of jars of jam in the cupboard and a bottle filled with yummy black currant cordial in the fridge. And there are still berries on the bushes... oh, and the red and white currants too...Can I open an urban pick-your-own farm?
In other summer holiday news I have already spent a day sitting in a 'playbarn' for about 2000 tedious hours with my arms sticking to the top of a plastic table. My plan - get it over with on day one and then force the children to potter about in nature for the entire rest of the time, or if there really has to be an alternative to nature we could make something out of paper and glue and glitter. We have done the 'playbarn' already this summer and so do not need to return.
