Morning spent finishing off the constructions pieces with the girls. We are having a lazy day sipping lemon and honey and not attempting much at all. Maybe tomorrow grandma wil feel more like a park picnic

Wow, brick lighting. And was that a roof garden in the first picture?
I'm buying more shares in Bunnings, Masters, Ikea, Beacon, etc. The future looks bright.

SIMPLE RHUBARB CHUTNEY
100g sultanas
1 onion, finely chopped
100ml cider vinegar or white wine vinegar
1cm piece fresh ginger, finely chopped (I use ground ginger instead)
200g (1 cup) sugar
pinch mixed spice
half teaspoon salt
500g rhubarb, sliced
Heat onions, sultanas, vinegar, ginger, sugar, spice and salt in a wide-based stainless steel saucepan (don't use aluminium).
Boil rapidly for 5 minutes, then add sliced rhubarb.
Return to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until thickened and jam-like.
Leave to sit for 10 minutes, then spoon into clean sterilised jars.
Makes about 600ml.
I divide it into small plastic containers and freeze, then use it when needed. I have it on grilled cheese, and on some meats. It is sweet-tasting, and yummy.
It might change your mind about rhubarb.
