The evenings are drawing in and the temperature has been dropping noticably at night which has led to some lovely autumn morning mists. The oil seed rape on the farm looks fabulous, if anything it might be doing a bit too well but the firsts frosts should slow it up. The wheat too has established well.
Our thoughts are turning to Christmas with an upscaling of homemade produce production in time for the village Advent Fair (19 November). This week has seen the making of Quince Marmalade, Three Fruit Marmalade, Quince Jelly, Fullards Fiery Relish, Quince Vodka and the decanting of Redcurrant Gin after its three months steeping. Next week attention will turn to Medlar Jelly and Christmas Chutney.
