I’ve had a bit of a break from blogging, as we spent the half-term holidays on the wonderful island of Cyprus. It was an incredible holiday, full of the most amazing plants and wildlife.
Just acknowledging that we’ve all wrote this blog – after all, a family holiday, deserves a family blog!
I’m writing this blog about my own garden, as the autumn sunshine beams down through the last leaves on the trees.
Whilst there’s still some goodies to harvest in the garden, it’s also time to think ahead, of winter jobs and spring time planting.
It’s autumn and the garden is still rewarding us with some lovely veggies, only yesterday I harvested 2 more cobs of corn for my tea.
What better way to use up your seasonal veggies, by making a bowl of delish soup to celebrate the RHS Campaign for School Gardening with their Big Soup Share
I’ve made the most of the autumn leaves, the sky, the smell this weekend, by visiting 2 of my favourite places, to experience 2 very different things.
On Friday I went to Hulme Community Garden Centre to watch Lost Words, then I was up and out Saturday morning to visit Yorkshire Sculpture Park for a wonderful autumn walk.
I really love autumn, with the lovely fresh, crisp mornings and the beautiful jewel like colours of the leaves falling from the trees.
It’s also a time to reap the rewards of your garden and celebrate all the effort that you’ve put in throughout the growing year.
Exactly one year today, we got in the car and set off north to pick up our gorgeous little Cypriot rescue dog, Buddy.
Weighing in at a skinny 8kg, he sat on mine and Grandma’s knee all the way home and instantly I was hooked, he stole my heart and my socks!
