Preperations and sunshine


The weather has stayed uncharacteristically hot for this time of year, ice creams have been enjoyed in the heat of the allotment ... and bonfires and fireworks have been enjoyed on Hastings beach washed down with fish and chips and a mug of milky coffee...


Flowers and herbs are blooming late into the season and red admiral and cabbage white butterflies flick from bloom to bloom...


What little water we have had has decorated each leaf like crystal gems....


Our vintage radio has been blasting out the tunes whilst we work and we pile up the wood and folage in preperation for our Bonfire night celebrations on 5th Nov bonfire






But the summer still seems to be hanging on with an appearance of the sweetest bunch of grapes on our vine...


Not quite enough to make a bottle of wine from though! damn it :)

Hope you had a great weekend too

  1. Gem! I was a bit behind on blog reading. I love your old radio, the Autumn Fair Maiden, the grapevine photo...and the artistic rocks you and the gang made at the beach! So clever.
    The bonfire sounds like great fun.
    I was under the weather myself but well now! Hope you are feeling good. xo
