About Me
- Name: Matron
- Location: Hillingdon, London, United Kingdom
I was born 20 yards from our allotment. My parents used to 'dig for victory' and never got out of the habit. I grew up on an allotment, so growing veggies is a way of life. I am also qualified as a dog behaviourist and I have set up my own business, www.blackdogdna.com

Hi, Noreen has been busy making marmalade which I'm sure she'll be posting on our blog soon. I've just bought my first few sticks of rhubarb to make some preserve hopefully. I don't have any in the garden, but I'm seriously considering making some space for a veg plot. But it will mean, reducing the amount of herbaceous perennials that I love. Oh for more space!

Thanks for this lovely blog. The marmalade looks splendid-- I didn't know that orange pips were so high in pectin...

Mmmmmmmmmmmm, looks and sounds delicious Matron. Do you use organic Seville oranges? I made some marmelade with the oranges and kumquats growing in my conservatory. It was delicious!
BTW how is the weather with you? On the telly I see nothing but floods and snowstorms in Britain at the mo.
Yolanda, No I don't think they were organic oranges, they are difficult to find here anyway. The weather has been fine down here in London! Lots of fine, sunny dog walking weather!
Looks great, will we be seeing it in it's bottled glory? x
I'm new to the blog world and just figured out how to leave a comment. The pictures at your site are gorgeous and creative. What kind of camera do you use?
