The wind thrashed and howled all night, the first sights of autumn laid strewn in fallen leaves and branches come morning. Plenty still standing, but this marks the beginning of the end; let the big clear up begin.

Windowsill Wednesday. The rains came overnight. A fine misting of drizzle hung over the field til noon, when it came down in great, big puddle-forming droves, pausing for a moment, to let the evening light wink it’s way out below the tree-line.

“August was a beautiful, busy and somewhat disastrous month- what with a bursting flower field to harvest and deliver, the return of weddings to prepare for, and calamitous accidents concerning dogs, trees and a poly tunnel- the month was full on. Looking back on it now, at least I remember laughing a lot.” August in the field- up on the blog now.

Windowsill Wednesday. The light is fading to a golden glow, the garden is fit to bursting, and the first leaves are turning watercolour- it’s that pendulum moment of richness, and ripeness, right on the cusp of decay. The very best days of the year.
