Cherry Punch

Cherry Punch Recipe:
Take two pots of tea and one carton of red fruit juice and add to fruit - in Orkney at this time of year a frozen box of berries would work - here stoned cherries are good. Freeze the lot until just before the party starts then pour on the lemonade. As the ice melts you get a lovely cold fizzy punch.

Talking of cherries we spent a morning last week picking them in Picton with our friend Julie who graduated in December. She is coming back to candidates course here in July before heading to work in China.

Later that day we made it over on the ferry to Wellington and we were showing David & Anne our photos of the Devil's Punchbowl at Arthur's Pass. Turns out Anne's son Martin had the contract to do the steps and paths for that project. It is a tiny world.
The guys at the punchbowl got really soaked with the spray but they didn't seem to mind as they came back happy - Les and Marion even posed for a reunion picture. The intervening 30 years have been kind to Marion but Les is a man on a mission and so far has lost 3lb!
