May I ask how you did your beautiful labels? Is it a computer programme? I have been looking for a way to make some nice labels and yours are amazing

Re: we have been a little busy ltely
Hi Indy, we used Microsoft publisher because thats what we had at the time, in our former lives my wife was a profession secretary and great at editing my mistakes and I was a marketing manager and designed all my companies advertising material, so I guess its just practise, however if you would llike me to design a base template for a label for you happy to do so, and can email it to you. I would just need some basic information, a logo if you have one , fi not I'm sure we can improvise and even some sizes if you want us to do the label. I might mention on the back we had an ingredients list and a add for our other llines.

They do look fantastic and very professional!
If you don't mind me asking, whats your courgette pickle recipe? I will understand if its a trade secret
I just had so many last year it would be wonderful to have another use for them that doesnt require giving them away or freezing them! (I also now have a wonderful pantry which I am looking forward to filling up! I tried a recipe last year but noone would eat it as it had a funny after taste..
