Nostalgic for Autumn...

If you're anything like me, it feels like it has gotten very cold way too quickly. It seems like no time at all since we were doing stuff outside, enjoying sunshine and such things...

So to try to bring this back to life, here's a photo of just one day's harvest from our amazing little Victoria plum tree in the garden:

It yielded so many plums it was incredible - some went to next door, some went to family, and a lot went into Delia Smith's plum chutney (not to be opened until December). And finally, a fair amount went into a plum and ginger compote, which has been the key ingredient in many a delicious breakfast of yoghurt, compote and muesli ever since...

Missing the plums, missing Autumn...
