The equinox occurs at 4.03am tomorrow morning. A time of balance and harvest. Here we have broccoli, kale, leeks, carrots, apples and even finally courgettes in great abundance. The peas and beans are still producing though more slowly and it’s time for brambles in the smoothies.
I love how the sunflower heads get bigger and bigger, filling up with seeds:

intend doing a bit of hulling... fun or tedious? we shall see 
Going to save some of them for planting next year, a habit were getting better at, broad beans drying nicely on a windowsill too

Reading in front of the log fire has replaced swimming as the favourite leisure pastime of the moment. Phil Rickman books are still being delved into. The Bones of Avalon is a new style for him, a historical novel and wonderful Glastonbury mystery set in the times of Elizabeth 1st, seen through the eyes of John Dee. He also writes for children and young people as Thom Madley – Marco’s Pendulum is gripping some here, apparently well diffused with humour throughout
