Snowy walk










 There is still some snow lying, and underfoot it ranges from icy solid to flaggy mud..but it was enjoyable.. although a bit long.. two hours! We caught the break in the weather and it restarted snowing as we arrived home for lunch.

It has continued showering all afternoon, alternating wet sleet with big fluffy flakes..but it doesn't appear to be sticking.

This afternoon's job was researching bike bits and their value, as pirate cleaned the next ones...I will list them tomorrow.

And joy of joys I had sale on Etsy! A small saltglaze footed cup for whisky and a wee jug for water...both saltglaze.  All packed up and ready to go.

The first day of Autumn

We did get out for a bike ride today...and also got soaked with some very hard cold rain, at times even harder hail!
Home again the sun came out, I got several washes on the line, Pirate battled with an ancient mower. Despite having a new belt and spark plug, there is a microswitch malfunction and it is reluctant to start.
Meanwhile I got busy in the kitchen, evicting wasps and making chutney!








It is surprising how ingredients reduce....those three small jars came from a kilo of onions!
Just to prove that this is the first day of Autumn....
The first fungus in the lawn.

Autumn in August?













It really feels like Autumn..and the last image is rain and wind damage on a wheat field.
We picked blackberries and even a few elderberries...time for the first batch of cordial this year!

Waxcap fungi




In the very soggy lawn...bright and pretty, but evidence of our present weather
