Lately.....

Over the last few days 

I've been making jam

Enjoying the fruits of the season

Making summer pudding

enjoying the flowers in the garden

and in the house


and also enjoying the produce from the greenhouse.

 I love to wander, exploring places old and new but sometimes it is just good to be at home.

  1. Enjoying the season's produce is very satisfying.

    1. It is isn't it? Both from the garden and the shops. It is good to walk into the garden and pick stuff though:)

  2. You have been busy - can't beat a bit of jam making. Lovely produce from your garden - I didn't realise you grew veg.

    1. We don't grown much veg I'm afraid. A couple of raised beds and the greenhouse. Usually it's potatoes, beans, tomotaoes and courgettes nothing else seems to grow very successfully:)

  6. couldn't agree more! Home is definitely the place to be at this time of year - the colours are just so beautiful as summer winds down into autumn - those plums are so gorgeous!!

    1. Late summer is so rich and colourful isn't it? The plums do taste wonderful - at the moment we have a basket full waiting to be dealt with:)

  7. I love being at home, but then I always have. I like pottering in the kitchen, trying new recipes and at this time of year, making goodies like jam and pickles from the bountiful fruits and vegetables of the season.

    Happy cooking Rosie!
