This weekend you will mostly be......................

And I can report that the experiments were a success

Gluten free hot water pasty is a pig to work with, but the end results tasted good.

Will probably do some pork pies in a few weeks just need to get hold of some pigs feet so I can make a proper jelly. Not really going to bother with gluten free pastry though.

Umbongo, this weekend I will be mostly beetling around Swaziland. What a fantastic place, mountainous, tartan socks, people love the ENglish, misty, rain and cold .
Should be twinned with Scotland really.
We just came down after nine days in Kruger, this time I got some great shots of leopard in a tree scoffing a deer, and Mrs Eo got two minutes of two elephants fighting.
Links and pics to follow in a few weeks.
Went to a cultural village today, to see a tribal dance and to see the way the Swazis lived

Only doing it cos MrsB is really intolerant of gluten. Have done regular pastry before without problem but for some reason the hotter stuff turns really crumbly. Ended up having to add an egg and then chill it to make it workable. The regular stuff should be moulded when warm. Came out nicely in the end though.

Didn't realise you were on your hols. Fantastic.

Many decades ago, my dad took a cine film of an elephant having a dump. I have happy childhood memories of giggling helplessly as he ran the film in reverse.

Decided to make a start on tackling my absolute jungle of a garden. Off to buy a chainsaw tomorrow.

Buying a house with huge garden with a river and 30+ 100 ft trees seemed like a good idea at the time.

When the gardens sorted it will be time to sell....

This garden is a bit like the Forth Road Bridge's paint job. When it's finished, I'll be three months late for starting again
