Brr! Autumn's Here

Our precautions of yesterday paid off as we woke up to a nice white frost.

Our attempts at covering up things hadn't worked as, just after we'd done it, we had a squally shower which must have blown the sheets of plastic off.

We went to inspect the damage this afternoon and picked we don't know how many more green tomatoes!!!

At lunchtime we all went to our friends south of Cahors, Simon and Judith, who had kindly offered us some of their figs. Betty was seen disappearing into the Fig tree although she didn't go up the ladder.

So now, not only are we swamped with green tomatoes, we've got heaps of ripe figs. I'm currently looking on-line for Green Tomato Chutney recipes, and Fig Chutney recipes!

In return for the figs, I helped Simon fit the winter cover for their swimming pool. It's a 2 person job, if not 3!
