Writing, Green tomato chutney, Vegetarian egg free cake

I’ve almost finished revising and editing my new novel The Viscount and The Orphan. After I read it to check it I shall send it to my publisher.

Yesterday I made tomato chutney with organic tomatoes and apples from my garden + pickling spice, mustard, sugar and organic cider vinegar. It’s delicious in sandwiches.
Today granddaughter number three visited me. I helped her make an egg free vegetarian fruit cake before lunch. A chickpea and vegetable stew and chocolate pudding for desert.
Now back to work on the novel.
