Autumn is on its way, we are now in August and it is starting to feel really 'backendish'. We have begun our own harvest, last week I said we were eating courgettes like mad but the fruit garden this year has so far been very prolific. The blackcurrents and the gooseberries were laden and Lesley has been busy making cakes and jams with alot of the produce, she has also made some piccalilli from our own vegetables so call in and buy some it will be ready in time for Christmas.
We have eaten our first apples this week, the Discovery are always the first to be ready and there is a steady stream into the orchard to 'scrump' one. The plums are just starting to turn dark pink instead of green, and the cherries have all been harvested. All the surfeit of fruit is going in the freezer ready for use during the Winter.
