I know what you mean beattie, for some reason people decide to call on us just as we have eaten, before I have chance to wash up. I am really grateful though for all the produce friends have given us from their allotment/gardens, tomatoes blackberries apples, courgettes, beans (green french bobbie butter) beetroot and potates and cabbages too. Don't know what to do with it all sometimes, I've pickled and frozen, and I've run out of jars now, just hope they don't bring anything else just now.
