Nearly ready to harvest

Today I spent quite a long time at the allotment digging over the areas where we had potatoes, tomatoes and runner beans. The sunflowers and Cosmos are sadly nearly over so I had to put some of them with lots of weeds and quite woody stalks into our new compost area made from pallets which a local tile shop delivers to the allotment and anyone can take them for free.
This is a squash which is nearly ready to harvest…it’s about 9 inches long but looks small in comparison to the huge leaf. 

Previously I had visited a ‘sewing’ friend to discuss making a few Christmas tree ornaments for our local Church fair in November. She gave me a couple of patterns, lots of scraps of Christmas material, some white felt and lots of sequins so now I have no excuse not to make some!

Lots of Rugby to watch onTV today plus the Ryder cup golf and now to watch Strictly Come Dancing.
