Week 47

Snow, frost, and a very autumnal party

Hello!

I hope you have had a fabulous week. Here we had snow! Sudden and unexpected, but somehow here in Bristol it never, ever settles and so I took endless pictures of the flurries of big fat snowflakes on the main road and they came out looking like…a wet main road. So no pics of that for you this week (though I imagine many of you might have much better snow pics for the Sunday show-and-tell in the chat part of the app… We want to see them!).

With the snow came the first frost, and it has suddenly felt much more winter than autumn. And yes, you’re right, snow means it’s time to buy your Christmas presents…

This is our community post in which I talk about something seasonal that I did/saw/ate this week, and then you tell me yours, in the comments, and at the end of the month I put them all together into a big beautiful poem.

Here’s mine:

A very autumnal party

There was a Fantastic Mister Fox dinner party, a woodland log cake of which I was very proud, a bonfire, marshmallows and smores and lots of music and giggling from the end of the garden. It was extremely pretty and autumnal, and in timing it has ended up almost being a goodbye autumn/hello winter party as well as a birthday party.

Eagle eyed viewers will spot one of regular reader Sue’s famous pumpkins in the mix!

That’s it from me. Over to you. What was seasonal about your week? What have you done/seen/worn for the first time since spring/balled up and thrown down the back of a friend’s neck?

Oh! And…P.S. In last week’s post I told you that it was Black Friday and gave you a link for a deal to join me on Scribehound Gardening for half price…but it wasn’t! Im sorry. Black Friday is apparently actually NEXT Friday, but I believe the deal is up and running now anyway, ahead of it. Do pop over and have a look. It’s a gorgeous thing.
