AUTUMN HAS ARRIVED AT THE MANOR HOUSE

The arrival of Autumn has not only brought falling leaves, warmer tones and cooler weather but it's become the end for some of our growing vegetables.  Soon we will be able to pick the pumpkins and squash that were planted back in April.

 (above) thyme in pots that were left to us by the previous owner ... how lucky was that?


(above) you can just see the climbing runner beans on the support that Richard made from hazel nut tree clippings


(above) apples in the orchard.  We've had the best ever crop this year....something to do with lots of rain and sunshine. We're still picking them daily.  Apple chutney making is happening this week!
