The ice bites, the clocks fall back, British summertime comes to an end. But where did the summer go? Damp mizzle and boggy grass will be nature's gold medals alongside our memories of the Diamond Jubilee and The Olympics! However, every rain-cloud has a silver lining, this year it's our extra juicy apple crop and the 'Autumn Colour' - rich, red, intense! The hydration is allowing a glorious kaleidoscope of leaves to hang on to the branches despite wild winds. The result, an explosion of sunset colour. Woodburners, cinnamon, apples and sloes beckon as we preserve the harvest for the shortest days!
