Fantastic! I'm off to the greengrocers today. I gave loads of marmalade away last year as I thought we had too much

Not as such, NL, but I need a sack of sugar to process all those oranges. �1 a kilo, organic: then the old chap takes the marmalade into work and sells it all for me. He doesn't mind doing that as he hates marmalade: it's the marms, I think. Lots of coffee should get me through it all, but I'll be exhausted at the end of it all!

And an article on making marmalades, both peel and jelly, as well as other things to do with Seville oranges, will be appearing shortly on Downsizer....

I bought some too this weekend - from what I believe must be the shop you work in, Mochyn. You weren't there - unless you have grown a large beard since just before Christmas

That was probably Mark, the boss, if it was in Llanfyllin. I only work Thursday and Friday afternoons: that pays for all our bought food, my petrol and some of other stuff, while getting a free supply of leaves and other veg for the livestock. And ready access to bulk purchases of sugar etc. And contact with people other than the postman!

Up here, Seville oranges have only now appeared in the greengrocers. The local supermarket hasn't got them yet. Sometimes they don't appear till February. If they haven't appeared yet where you are, ask when they are expecting to have them in.
