It's fair to say that I was under pressure today.
Deliveries to make, lots of Luscious Lemon Curd to cook and jam towers to assemble for next weeks trading Di**le Food Festival plus a flight to catch to Liverpool for granny duties over the weekend. And a lot of non work things on next week.
Lots to juggle, and precious little time.
Thankfully, the gods were on my side, and the cavalry arrived, starting with an unexpected overnight visit from my lovely daughter EilΓs Eilis Teegan who helped me with deliveries first thing.
She had invited our 'fourth' daughter Claire Boylan over for a quiet coffee. And they both got put to work, assembling jam towers, scrubbing lemons, washing and sterilising jars, and generally doing my bidding!
With only jam and my love as payment π
Then Chef John Teegan made a flying visit home on his break, and he ended zesting lemons too!
Everything got done, we had the chats as we worked, and I got showered, packed, and over to the airport on time.
Thanks to the whole support team. You are the best!! β€οΈβ€οΈπ
