Lightbulb Moment

We sat down yesterday evening - collapsed might be a better word - feeling sad that the summer visiting season is definitely over, and at the same time happily anticipating a bit of R&R.

This morning, reality dawned - it's just eight days till we head off on holiday for three weeks. 

First job was to harvest all the tomatoes and bring them into the house - in the hope that they will ripen and be made into sauce and frozen before we leave. 

We had two kinds this year, don't ask me what they were. One was red and the other this yellow bulb-y variety.

The latter gave me a bit of a pause when I saw them on the worktop, for a moment I thought 'Christmas lights??'
