Back home, it was time for a couple of days out - to Kedleston and Calke - while the good weather lasted and for some gardening - gathering the last of the allotment produce for the season, enjoying the end-of-season flowers and wrapping up delicate bean plants against overnight frosts
While way on holiday, I'd started a crochet project - a kit given to me some while ago by my daughter - and I was determined to carry on once back home. I'm a relative novice to crochet but it's coming along nicely now, and the bag section is almost finished with just the strap to go.
Something that taken up a lot of time has been an attempt to clear the freezer ahead of buying a new one. Lots of old fruit and vegetables were lurking in its depths, and some of these at least have now being turned into jams, chutneys, and (to a lesser extent) meals.
It seemed to be a busy month, but we had another holiday planned for the beginning of October.
