Making wedding jam
Charlie
I realise that I haven’t spoken much on the blog about my own wedding planning. I’m quite a private person when it comes to my own wedding and I seem to change my mind about things so often that it’s hard to say ‘this is what we’re doing’.
But last weekend, with autumn approaching, Mr Rigg and I went to a local farm to pick autumn raspberries to make into jam. One thing we’re almost certain about is that we want to incorporate an afternoon tea into our wedding day.
This is for a number of reasons:
1) A large part of my childhood was spent at my grandparents house in Devon. Many of my memories are eating homemade scones, with granny’s jam and clotted cream from a family farm up the road.
2) I have a friend who makes the best teeny tiny scones and who is prepared to make enough for our guests.
3) I love the Englishness of it and the connections I have with it.
4) And who doesn’t love scones with clotted cream and jam?
