The Joys of September

A beautiful book, so perfect for the season.

There are pages on crafting

and delicious recipes.

Most of all this book is full of wonderful art

designed by artist and writer

Susan Branch.

This is just the best time of the year for walks

and when I walk far enough away from my neighbourhood

I can escape the roads with traffic

and seek out little paths of greenery.

Following the sunlit railings and sundrenched grass

and hearing the scrunch of the gravel beneath my sneakers.

I do love to see the sun shining through the trees

and those first leaves turning to copper

A soft focus on dreamy leaves

just to set the mood of the moment

and something a little colourful along the way

The roses are still blooming

Aren't they wonderful?

But now it's time to go home to tea...

I baked a Peach Galette

with homemade shortcrust pastry.

It's very melt-in-the mouth

and a little tricky to get it neat looking

so I've gone for the casual homemade look!

You're invited too!

I've put two plates on the table outside

At a glance, I can get eight slices out of this galette

So don't be shy!

Here's your slice

with a blob of sour cream!

Happy September!
