  1. Sounds good but why are you busier in September than August? I would have thought there was less to do as you have done your pruning.

    1. The grass has grown again and needs cutting, Haddock's certainly needs attention, and in general the laziness of high Summer is slowly disappearing.

    1. It will be 33 C again today, and we shall swim. We do look at the UK weather, and I must say it doesn't seem to have been kind this year.

  6. Now not only do I not know what day it is, I also don't know what month it is. Soon it will be year.

    1. We certainly have to check regularly what day it is. In fact it hardly matters to us at all.

  7. Very nice photo of Lady M. The hat is her halo.
    I wonder if we have cauliflowers in the shops yet. We had a short holiday and on our return I found a squash forming, bigger than a tennis ball and looking healthy. Must have been the extra egg I fed it before leaving.
    September is a month for miracles it seems.

    1. The arrival of big Caulis in the shops is always welcomed. I love them in soups.

  8. Lady M has been captured beautifully ... a stunning photograph..... and a lovely, positive list of Autumn. The weather is beautiful here in Hertfordshire and we are expecting temperatures in the 30’s in the coming days. Time to begin to start putting the garden to bed although, ours is looking rather nice for September .... it is usually going over by now. Enjoy the sunshine Cro and Lady M ( Lady M looks reminiscent of a 70’s album cover .... a bit Stevie Nicks ) XXXX
