So it's the final weekend of Wimbledon and Murray Mound is heaving. It's actually sunny and the forecast predicts that it will remain so for Sunday. Let's grab some strawberries and a bottle of Pimms and think positive thoughts.

I
think I'm going to go and look for a jam recipe as I have a bit of a
glut. I keep buying those special offer boxes and no one else seems to
be eating them except me. A 100 g serving for 50 calories is pretty good
though. Perhaps it's the cream I am adding!
Enjoy the tennis.
I love strawberries, they go far too quickly here though! Thanks for featuring my hat on your lovely blog :)
