Autumn

It’s the autumnal equinox apparently, ideal for some tattie howking I thought and so it was. Four or five pounds of spuds from each shaw is about as good as I’ve had and it meant I didn’t need to lift many! Started the overdue grass strimming but it’s so long that the strimmer’s batteries soon gave up the ghost; might need another couple of goes to get it back to some semblance of order. Then wandered around in case there were any windfall apples to be found, collected enough for a couple of cakes (but not enough for chutney, need more wind!) and also a few scattered apricots. Apple and apricot tart maybe?
