You never think that after watching your Mum, buckets in hand, and climbing fences to pick fruit, that it is something you would do yourself. The countless hours she spent , making all types of jams and sauces the old fashioned way to feed us all, and made with love on her cherished wood stove, year after year, is something I'll never forget. She was so proud of my achievements and it is an absolute reflection straight back to her. To win Gold for MARY JEANS jam, at the Sydney Royal this year ,only weeks before she left us is so special. She was so pleased. Beautiful Mum, what a gift.๐ 1.4.1930 5.10.2026
