I’m still getting loads of tomatoes from the greenhouse, slicing them up and freezing a lot of them in mixed bags for sauces and pizzas later. I also got a basket full of green tomatoes for chutneys, pickles and frying from the plants I grew outside.

The flower border has turned from hot pink to blazing yellows and golds.

The wood is looking lovely, I take Toots for a walk around it every morning.

The mushrooms are starting to pop up.

On Monday I’m off to the UK for a few weeks and leaving Peter to look after everything. He’s taking some holiday so should enjoy having the place to himself with just the kitties for company. He will write to blog for me while I am away (Peter promises to do this and I will be checking on him!).
