A Treat

Afternoon tea at The Kennels. An autumn treat and late anniversary celebration. Absolutely delicious.

Afterwards I spent time at the allotment clearing the debris of summer. The grass we cut yesterday still looks unkempt but it has grown so much in our wet and mild autumn that it wasn’t possible to cut it enough in one go.

Then we ventured to the muddy meadow to walk Merlin who loves to run in the water logged grass hunting shrews. We instead amused ourselves looking at the 45 specimen trees that have been planted these past two weekends forming an arboretum which is being created on part of the meadow. Something for future generations to enjoy, as well as ourselves.

Home to a light tea and another episode of The Crown.
