The second batch of quinces were ready when I got up today... I've drained them since but the day got busy so further cookery is delayed.

Some shopping this afternoon, which included free comic book day. I got some good stuff. I may have to follow 'The Intrepid Scapegoat'.After shopping I was off to Meredith and Alister's housewarming which was a fun social gathering... a good day, all said.

P.S. The white thing in the slow cooker is a muslin bag with seeds and cores in it. Including these in the cooking process will help to ensure the jelly and paste will set later.

Happy Mother's Day to my wonderful Mum and lovely Grandma (though Grandma probably won't see this). Both of you have been enormous influences on me that I'm very grateful for. I can't think of any way to adequately thank you... but I know you both love roses. As they're still in bloom I thought a photo of one of them would be an appropriate gesture.
