The pumpkins are, at last, all off their vines as we approach the final weekend of autumn….hardening off in the sun on the stone wall, but I guess I really ought to bring them inside now for safe keeping.

And as I prepare for tomorrow’s Living Willow Workshop here, I’m also making lists for what to take along to my stall at Sydney Living Museums’ Autumn Harvest Festival at Rouse Hill House on Sunday.  A batch of beautifully handcrafted trugs for a start, footed enamel colanders, veg brushes, a couple of hats, a bucket of Jerusalem artichokes, a big armful of rosemary…..a crate of scented pelargoniums, hmmm….and no doubt I’ll think of a lot more between now and then!  All details at SLM –  I’m so looking forward to it and will hope to see you there! 
 

In the meantime, on with the cooking for Saturday’s workshop!
