Blueberry fields forever!!


Phew ! time to relax , it's Wednesday and boy have we been busy, La Petite Maison has been full and our guests have had a great time, we are so pleased, it has been wonderful.

This morning saw us harvest our honey (miel), a little less than expected but 8 kgs all the same, it is now safely maturing before being potted. In the photo you can see Joanne decapping the frames before them being placed into the centrifuge, it's a great job, all that honey to lick from your fingers, yum yum !!

By 10.15 hrs we were in a field just outside Blessac picking beautiful Blueberrys (myrtille) for the first 5 minutes we just ate them, absolutely delicious, 4 kgs later we were on our way home, we laughed and laughed due to us both having completely blue tongues and fingers. Joanne is now busy making Blueberry jam and clafoutis (a type of batter full of the fruit of your choice) Chris is off to hunt for Chantrelles with Jess & Bonny, no rest for the wicked hey !!
