Mahonia Blossom

A bitty day today KG went off to badminton and I sorted out bits and pieces.  Stewed the meat for a pie tonight.  I have never done this before but making vegetable stock - how will it turn out.  I usually use stock cubes but Amanda is coming on Saturday and she can't have pepper and unfortunately they have pepper in the ingredients  so having a go - it doesn't smell too bad at the moment..
Another nice day so an outside blip again.  Used the extension tube again today and the prime lens.  It is not quite sharp at it was slightly windy and swaying in the breeze.
