Well and truly pickled

After the excitement of the airshow yesterday we had a calmer day, albeit a wetter morning, gathering stuff at the allotment.
Spinach, French Beans and Beetroot were gathered up and cleaned, chopped and in the case of the beetroot pickled as well.

Marlane had pickled some onions last week as well, which had been given to us by a lady at the allotments, so they are also featured in the blip.

Just like the old days in our early marriage, Marlane did lots of pickling and baking. Now that neither of us work those days are set to come back. Love the smells that ensue from the kitchen with such activities.

There's lots more beetroot at the allotment, this was just the stuff we were pulling up to thin them out.
