We went out to the annual Acton Leathertown Festival yesterday to see if we could get Garrett on a pony. After we got there, we realized that he's a wee bit small for a pony ride. We'll hold off until next year.
He did pet a few goats, sheep and one horse, but that was the extent of his wilderness exposure. The day before we'd gone to Erin for their annual sidewalk sale and Garrett found a miniature horse that was just his height. I've got some great pictures. You'll just have to wait until the morning for me to upload them.
Anyway, at the festival on Sunday we were on our way out when we passed a booth with all sorts of gourmet jams and spreads. Seeing how they had samples, we tried some and they were delicious. Unfortunately they were $8/jar or 3 for $20.
So we now have three jars of what I call my 'Corner Gas Marmalade'.
We have a jar of blueberry and black currant spread (mmm), one of sherried cherries in raspberry jam (double mmmm!) and the coup de grace is the Irish Caramel spread, which is a rich butterscotch with Bailey's Irish Cream mixed in (*faint*). We spoil ourselves about once a year with some kind of expensive jam, usually bought at a local fair or craft show. The nice thing is that these will last at least a year.
Mmm...
