Well we’ve all been a bit taken aback by the sudden change in the weather. At the beginning of last week, despite the cold nights, I was still sitting on the terrace in short sleeves during my lunch break, by Thursday the nights were dropping to minus 3 and whilst by mid afternoon things were warming up , the days are too short for the autumn sun to make much of a difference. There’s been a mad rush to gather in the rest of summer’s harvest and tomatoes and courgettes have joined the summer jams and autumn walnuts and apples in the larder.
Personally, whilst I appreciate our sun, I’m quite looking forward to a trip to UK to warm up!
