September in the Gardens

Good Coffee ~ Olly Wilkins
Choosing an ethical coffee brand

Peach Melba
A firm favourite during the summer months, this recipe is a quick and flavourful way to transform all those peaches into a fresh and vibrant pudding. One for the last dregs of summer sun in September, for entertaining or dining al fresco.
September in the Meadows
September is a time of change in the meadows as the floriferous canvas evolves into a habitat for barn owls and other birds, as well as autumnal wildflower species.
