Autumn has arrived and my allotment is changing, the crops of the Summer have nearly gone, I picked the last of my runner beans this week and have a freezer full of apple and blackberry to make Winter crumbles. My plot has leeks, pumpkin, parsnip, chard, spinach and celeriac, also sprouts and cauliflower in early stages. I removed the raspberry bushes as they were taking up a lot of space and not producing much, the ground is ready for onions and garlic.
We are off now for a short break in Istanbul, it will be our third visit. There is so much to see and do there and the food is wonderful, as are the people. We are only taking carry on luggage but I think I can get in enough for a hot day and long skirts for cooler evenings.
Oops big feet in the pic!
Ive got all my toiletries in 60 ml bottles to comply with airline check in and a pair of shoes and a foldable hat, my kindle and some undies.
Back soon!
How lovely to get away from miserable weather and see something different. Enjoy every minute, Betty!
ReplyDeleteFab to see you posting. Fresh runner beans are the biz! I just had some yesterday and they were so fresh and tasty and crunchy. You wonder how long the ones in the shops have been lying around?So envy you with your travelling. My passport's ran out and no point in renewing it now! Safe travels.xxx
