An apology and some muffins

In the last month we've had

• a dog that's had cruciate ligament knee surgery, and the 3 weeks laterd had to have the other knee done (4 7+ hour day trips to melbourne and counting)
• Jerry's needed root canal
• the TV broke

Needless to say it has been a VERY expensive month, and Freddie is walking around on our holidays for the next few years I think!  I've also been very busy work-wise and doing 6 days in some cases so not a lot of energy left for anything much else, including blogging.

However this weekend I've been in the garden planning and potting on tomatoes and peppers, and in the kitchen making some chutney (rhubarb, pear and ginger), some lime pickle, and another batch of matron's most excellent sourdough english muffins. I can't encourage you enough to try this fabulous recipe.
