Your scones were good.
Can't comment on the rest, but feel free to post me samples.
Also the jam was nice, was that home made?

Yes, the jam was home made
but there's no real secret to tasty jam, you just boil up fruit and sugar until jam happens: shop-bought jam (unless expensive) uses all the bits of manky fruit and too much sugar, which is why it's not as nice.

I prefer damson, I'm going to have a damson jam and peanut butter sandwich now, *smugs*

I may make damson this year actually
as a mate of mine has a damson tree in his back garden. And possibly some damson gin.

How old is your son?

the stuff I have is home made, although not by me.
it's so cute, the old lady who made it has written the ingredients on the side:
Sugar
Damsons.

Bless!
although she's right, that's all that goes in to jam really. 8 is still still a cute age, do you get to see him much?

I don't know, about average as I understand it
It's fine, I love him to bits, and I think I do OK when I'm with him, but I don't think I'm really cut out to be a father full time.
