<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Heatwave after heatwave for most of this month. I was luckily enough to be in England for the worst of it, having my dental work done. Temperatures well up in the 30s are not something I appreciate! On my return, got straight into the jam-making season, with raspberry, strawberry and rhubarb put up, as well as rhubarb chutney and peach chutney. The France Passion season is also going well, with the addition of home-made handcream and lip balm proving popular.<br /><br /><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ks-573j7bhg/XU7W1e4qn8I/AAAAAAAAO7k/f4QYEPuUY0wRzMvwKC0xaDU_w-Fqs_leACLcBGAs/s1600/B64D927C-E4A1-4297-9C32-6D032F38B7F7.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ks-573j7bhg/XU7W1e4qn8I/AAAAAAAAO7k/f4QYEPuUY0wRzMvwKC0xaDU_w-Fqs_leACLcBGAs/s320/B64D927C-E4A1-4297-9C32-6D032F38B7F7.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br />I also ventured into the field of sausage-making (see A Brit Cooks in Brittany for more details) and was very pleased with the result. However, it is definitely a two-woman job!<br />Excellent<br /><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cO80b4s9jwU/XU7dxsSG-qI/AAAAAAAAO8A/peaMh5f2WE4dS7hYvS5pCR0JVRewWIdDQCLcBGAs/s1600/BB49EF9F-1AA7-48D1-BC81-0F357F9892CF.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cO80b4s9jwU/XU7dxsSG-qI/AAAAAAAAO8A/peaMh5f2WE4dS7hYvS5pCR0JVRewWIdDQCLcBGAs/s320/BB49EF9F-1AA7-48D1-BC81-0F357F9892CF.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2xDevt8xC0E/XU7epPVIB1I/AAAAAAAAO8I/aG47Wl6r3RMEb-3haMosTH9pu8ToUiaKwCLcBGAs/s1600/F8D813F0-DA68-4BDF-8D59-76BF040C9471.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2xDevt8xC0E/XU7epPVIB1I/AAAAAAAAO8I/aG47Wl6r3RMEb-3haMosTH9pu8ToUiaKwCLcBGAs/s320/F8D813F0-DA68-4BDF-8D59-76BF040C9471.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Seen here with some of our delicious courgettes!</div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It was time, too, to replenish my stock of handcream, so out came the double saucepans, thermometers and measuring cylinders, together with appropriate memories of chemistry lessons at school! I love the way thin liquids transform like magic into lovely, thick and creamy handcream at a fraction of what you pay for good stuff in the shops. Not a good photo, I’ll try again tomorrow!</div><div style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WqkPP-PAzp4/XU8mKBsAWMI/AAAAAAAAO8U/1Ok2Rixer70vQh_j9j_9PpUqUbyyobq1wCLcBGAs/s1600/BF973DDD-4A26-4681-B40B-257F4A91A737.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1290" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WqkPP-PAzp4/XU8mKBsAWMI/AAAAAAAAO8U/1Ok2Rixer70vQh_j9j_9PpUqUbyyobq1wCLcBGAs/s320/BF973DDD-4A26-4681-B40B-257F4A91A737.jpeg" width="258" /></a></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div>
