The mint jelly that wasn’t

Weather has started picking up. Got out on my bike for the first time in a while. Even have decent brakes again after getting it serviced… lovely! I need to get some practice in because I’ll be biking the St. James at the end of the month with friends and I’m not at all sure I’m fit enough.

I attempted to make mint jelly.

It was a pretty much complete failure. The consistency is completely wrong. Mum said I could just boil it up again and reduce it a bit more and it might come right, so, I’ll give that a go in a bit. Don’t think it’ll go off in the meantime! Shame, I thought it would be pretty straightforward, but, I think I just got the “setting point” wrong. Hey ho.

Found the book “Ferdinand” in the library. An childhood favourite. Anna was initially against it but once she actually let me read it to her she loved it!
