Good evening, everyone. Phew, it has been a scorcher today. A good start to September.
I forgot to say; yesterday I treated myself to a drive over to Lathcoats. I was looking for two specifics, neither of which the had, but their apple table is set up now. They grow a wide variety of apples on the farm and in the autumn they have a table with labelled samples of each kind and a knife so one can cut off a bit and taste.
I now have an abundance of apple so it is just as well I love them!
They also had their plums for sale so guess what I bought.
I also stocked up on frozen cherries and blackberries from their scoop and bag freezers and some pumpkin seeds and nuts from their serve yourself thingies.
It was nice looking round, even if they didn't have what I was looking for.
And then today I went over to HomeSense, Matalan and Home Bargains (Or is it B&Q, I always muddle those two) deliberately to get autumnal rubbish. Bad me! I dug out the little pumpkins, etc, that I crocheted last year and now the garden room is all autumnified.
Unnecessary but nice, don't you think?
Your garden room looks lovely. love the cushions and your display of crocheted pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteLooking lovely and the trees near our house are turning already. Catriona
ReplyDeleteThey are here too - it's very early, isn't it? I wonder if that means anything (apart from longer term global warning, that is) xx
DeleteIt's looking really lovely. The cushion is beautiful and your cute pumpkins really look great amongst the autumnal colours.

I'm really happy with the cushions. I was after something quite different but when I saw them it was just 'Yess!. Good old Matalan!
DeleteI'd have liked to make some applique ones but couldn't get sufficient motivation up. xx
Lovely decorating for autumn. Love all the pumpkins and colourful leaves.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Thanks, Jackie. The seasonal decorations are what will introduce colour into the garden room and I'm happy with how it looks. xx
DeleteThe apple tasting sounded good.
ReplyDeleteI'm not embracing autumn until I have no choice, but your decorations look very jolly.
!
DeleteI count Autumn from Sept 21/22nd/whenever but I have no objection to brightening up the garden room ahead of time. xx
They look pretty, but I still insist on clinging on to the last of summer :) Xx
ReplyDeleteHello Joy. Today is a catching up day for me in blogland. A whole month, can you believe it! You have had some lovely trips recently and I enjoyed seeing the photos of the V&A and Wisley. Neither of which I have visited yet but they are on my to visit list. I am going to look out my pumpkin and Autumn leaves. Thank you for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteYour broad bean babies are doing well and the runner beans look a tasty treat. I'm not sure if I have any left after being away. I must go and check.
Have a great September x
Lovely to have you back again. Your summer sounds fantastic.
DeleteYou have a great September too. xx
Oh I do like those crocheted pumpkins. It's feeling very damp and autumnal here today.
ReplyDeleteWe have sunshine now but earlier it was pretty damp and autumnal. xx
