Bottled sunshine and time for the Marmalashes

It started as a challenge arising from the ashes of Australian cricket team losing to the Poms a summer or so ago.  If you call this summer when they have forecast snow on the alps in Victoria today. Hail and winds for other places.
A group of marmalade makers in Buninyong decided to contest the Marmalashes  ... in England. For the write up in the Guardian newspaper visit the story here.  The result was the Australian XI won, eleven jars that is.  Go here for the Marmlashes version of the story and how to participate this month.
January 2012 is now the time to submit your entries to Russell and the team so on behalf of the Marmalashes Buninyong Marmalade Association Inc., this is a call to all marmalade makers to enter the 2012 Marmalashes Selection Judging and Awards.
Just as I have fooled many when I have said it was time for me to work on my Cricut now is your time to contest the Ashes.  In this agricultural show off season raise your wooden spoon.

The competition has moved wider than Buninyong and they invite entries from all over Australia.
Yes, there is a Marmy army!
