‘Wake me up for the weekend’ were words emblazoned on a night shirt I had when I was as teenager! Now, I’m saying….wake me up for the winter! And it is about time too for summer’s gone, winter’s almost come. And I’m enjoying autumn in between!
My red ‘delicious’ from September, 2004

She made my day….
….yesterday, and today…and I suspect forever. M from the Epicurean’s market gave me two blog awards! When I saw her September Harvest post, I knew we were ‘siblings’!

The sushi post will come but as you can imagine, I have numerous videos and photos which need some serious stitching together to paint the very delicious picture that was yesterday! Consider this an interim offering please!
