The thing that did jump out

 And say "buy me"..... yesterday....

A push mower from the 1930s...it needs rubbing down and a new coat of paint...and one wooden handle needs some glue to fix a crack ...but it cuts very nicely....and surprisingly only cost me £20!!! 

With a grass catcher and in good condition..ie a paint job...it would be worth a LOT more....but I'll be using it, not selling it!!

Until I get the catcher, my spring tine rake will have to suffice...I use the grass clippings to mulch the vege beds.

Late in the afternoon I took a walk round the fields and foraged some of my favourite local apples....

Some for juice, some for other uses, some to store...and plenty more where they came from!

It is certainly a Mast Year... everything is abundant.

I didn't get too many tomatoes because I planted them too late..but those I have are beautiful 

Not much done today....more housework, cutting cardboard boxes up to make packing to go with (hopefully) sold prints...and looking for a block I did a couple of years ago, found the lino that I knew I had.. somewhere!! So I hadn't really needed to buy more on my day out.... but it will still all get used.

Trimming back the tomatoes in the greenhouse to reveal all that is left to ripen, and picking a few more. Clearing the patch to plant the garlic. More gardening tomorrow, all being well.
