๐ฟ๐งก๐ฟThe Summer months have gone by so quickly I hardly had time to think. August seems a distant memory... It suddenly warmed up when I was hoping for more Autumnal days and cooler temps... ๐
So I thought I better do another catch up post... We had an abundance of Apples & blackberries ๐ฟ❤️๐ฟI made a Summer sponge flan and crumbles...
๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐ง️๐ค️๐ฅ️We had a bit of a soggy August to be honest. But between showers we've visited some local places in Devon like Totnes, Dartington & Ashburton. And long walks on the Moorland. ๐ฟ๐๐ฟ Well, we did enjoy some lovely trips until our car failed the m.o.t so we've had it in the garage being fixed and costing a small fortune! Hopefully, we get it back by Friday this week.
๐ฟ๐๐ฟ❤️My beautiful, bright Sophs got her gcse's results during August, she did amazingly well... We are all so proud of her๐❤️But she's already working at an accountancy firm near the city on her apprenticeship, so she's already settled into life there and college once a week. My poor dad's been back in Guys hospital London having radiotherapy but caught Covid while there the week before and is feeling very weak ๐❤️ so emotionally I've felt so exhausted with worry and guilt not being able to see him. But I'm hoping to spend a long weekend soon. We talk twice a day ❤️ but it's not the same. One of the reasons I didn't feel good about August as it felt a tough month. Life sure is an emotional roller-coaster at times! ๐ฟ๐๐ฟBut I do try and find the little joys... However big or small... Loved the scarecrow competition at Otter's nursery. Sure cheered my soul ๐
๐ฟ๐๐ฟI have to admit I long for Autumnal days... And seeing the leaves change and blackberries in the hedgerows. My favourite time of year. But today it still feels like Summer! And the butterflies are enjoying the last blooms on the hill top garden๐ฆ๐ฟ❤️๐ฟ❤️๐ฟ❤️๐ฟ❤️๐ฟ
๐ฟ❤️๐ฟSomething exciting to share with you before I go... My *New* etsy shop is Open for business... 'Pin dolly studio' on etsy. I will be adding more and more prints as the weeks pass๐๐ so do check it out.

Lovely and I guess that you visit similar places to us. We went to Buckfast Abbey on Monday, which was very pleasant. Afterwards, we drove via Dartington and Totnes to a smallish nursery at Longcombe. At Staverton, I remarked how we used to love the nursery and coffee shop there…Staverton Bridge Nursery…did you ever visit? It’s closed now and I do miss it! My kind of nursery with all sorts of vintage garden bits and pieces..what I call a proper nursery! Have a good weekend! ๐
