Stir Up Sunday last weekend, Thanksgiving yesterday so now there really is nothing between us and Christmas! Well, maybe just a little retail therapy … No hyper-discounting of old stock but this did seem like a good day to remind you of all the wonderful produce we’ve been harvesting and preserving over the last months! …
So finally Winter has arrived … proper frosts for the first time since February, scraping the windows of the car every morning!
