After the spring and summer madness there's the autumn hubbub. With time limited opportunities to harvest and forage it means that dry weekends are spent gathering and making to preserve the available produce for months to come. It's been a year which has felt even more hectic than ever so far and I wonder whether things will start to loosen up over the coming weeks or if it will just be trading one hurry for another. There are so many changes that could or perhaps should happen in the coming few years yet I can only feel despondent about change. As with most things which come to pass 'be careful what you wish for' as it very much feels like the world around us casually trades the frying pan for the inferno itself.

Take care on these crabby autumn days,
Sophie
