welcome.
October means...
Tree branches laden and bendy with fruit, fields polka-dotted with incongruously bright pumpkins and squash waiting to be gathered, the smell of wood smoke on the air, autumn mists and looking ahead to Bonfire Night. Memories of baked potatoes cooking in the embers and hands clasped around warming mugs of hot chocolate sum up a time of year when the contrast from one season to another appears most marked, with a glorious array of new produce beckoning from market stall, veg box and shop shelf.
