_ dames in faded cloak of red or grey Loiter along the morning's dripping way In wicker basket on their withered arms Searching the hedges of home close or farms John Clare Here is a recipe for Blackberry and Geranium Jelly: Blackberries Water Scented Geranium Leaves Sugar Cook the blackberries in enough water to cover them, until soft. Tip the contents into a jelly bag or an old clean pillowcase and hang up to drip into a bowl overnight. The next day measure the juice and put into a pan with 1 lb sugar to 1 pint juice, add 3 or 4 scented geranium leaves to each pint and bring slowly to the boil. Boil until setting point is reached - but bear in mind this jelly does not set very firmly. Keep tasting to see that the geranium flavour doesn't overpower that of the blackberries, and remove the leaves when the flavours balance. Pot in warm, dry jars. Sylvia xxx

About UsHello! My name is Gordon and I am a Gold Sebright and my best friend is Sylvia. She is a Silver Sebright. We live with our foster parents on a small farm in the country. We thought that we would put our take on life and what we get up to through the year into a diary for you. All the characters are real and the events are a true record, interpreted with a modicum of poetic licence. We hope you enjoy it. Love Gordon and Sylvia Archives
