This is so cool. Here I am, making marmalade for the third year in a row, and now I find out that there is a Marmalade Festival. Apparently 2007 was the first ever. I wish I could go!

I found out about this via Well Fed Network:

Sometimes you get a moment of serendipity when the universe makes sense. On Monday, I was brought an offering of Seville oranges, which is quite some gift as it is more or less impossible to find these particularly bitter citruses any longer. At the market stall where I annually purchase my oranges, I was told in no uncertain terms, The old ladies who used to make their own marmalade are all dead, so there is no need for the oranges no more. I protested and put forward the right of the new generations only to be told, the new generations, aahh too lazy.

Aigh! I'm not too lazy! Granted, it _is_ a lot of work to make a good marmalade, but it is well worth it.

I need to find out if the tree that my folks have in tier back yard is a Seville.
