Episode 43 - Hares, Hens, Fish and Family

Welcome, my name is Pene and I live in the S.E. of England with my husband Pete and four chickens. After my retirement, working for the NHS as a counsellor, I decided to do Penelope’s Chinwag. It’s a chatty vlog about crafting, a fascinating fact about the natural world, maybe a chat with Mum or Pete and a story or poem. In episode 12 I introduced Transactional Analysis, a model of counselling that is practical and helpful. I finish with a short film usually taken when I’m out walking or from our garden.
This week I tell you about Tilly's clothes, Schooling fish being copied by Nissan, Mum finishes her diary at April 1958 and we have a visit from our daughter, grand-daughter and great-grand-daughter and some time with our hens.

Delia Smith's Lemon Curd
3oz caster sugar mixed with 1 lemon rind.
Whisk 2 eggs and mix with juice of lemon. Add sugar and lemon rind.
1oz butter cubed. Add to ingredients and simmer over simmering water
until thickened. For me 10 mins and 10 mins with water turned off. Keep your eye on it!
