Autumn Roast

...things have been steadily busy over the last couple of weeks, we had my husbands parents come and stay for 10 days...the house has never been so clean, pressed & tidy...and all those odd jobs that needed attention Mr C Senior has so kindly taken care of.

The Autumn cozy bug has hit our home...the duvet hasn't quite made it onto the bed but the flannel PJ's

are out aswell as the sheepskin slippers. I'm not so excited about the longer winter nights that will soon be upon us, but staying home and resting over the winter months preparing for what Spring has in store, this is our bodies hibernation and brings me a sense of calm.

Saturday was a real British weather day here in Italy, it was wellies and waterproofs for the allotment, I loved it! (made me feel really at home) the smell of slightly rotting vegetables and damp grass, bringing an end to our first season at the allotment...what will the winter months bring to our kitchen.

Sunday was spent roasting Autumn fair...I love roast dinners cozied up at home with great company and a couple sneaky glasses of wine.
