We have another 25 l of cider awaiting racking off in the next week, as we need the container and its sister to make more cider in a weeks time!
Ah season of mists and mellow fruitfulness......I LOVE this time of year!
Hello and welcome to The Compost Bin. I'm Compostwoman and I live with my family in rural Herefordshire. We have nearly four acres of garden and woodland, all managed organically and to Permaculture principles, which we share with Chickens, Cats and assorted wildlife. We also grow a lot of our own food, run courses in all sorts of things and make a lot of compost!
I am a Master Composter and have spent more than a decade as a volunteer Community Compost adviser with Garden Organic and my local Council.
I'm a self employed Environmental Educator so I run workshops and events where I talk about compost, veg growing, chicken keeping, cooking, preserving and sustainable living. I also run crafts workshops and Forest School/outdoor play sessions in our wood.
We try to live a more self sufficient lifestyle here, as best we can, while still having a comfortable life and lots of fun.

'Hic'!! It sounds grand!! What a wonderful feeling... all produce bottled, preserved and stored in whatever way... General tidy in grounds for winter and then sigh of relief... kick off boots and enjoy the winter season.... knowing that you have supplies enough to see you through until the next year and beyond!

Hi Jane.
ReplyDeleteYes, one of the reasons I love this time of year is , it gets dark, so we stop doing stuff outside, having hopefully made a real difference to the list of chores!. Various indoor stuff then gets done and we can then later sit down in front of the woodburner with a glass of home made something.
In the summer, its non stop until the light fades, and then its time for bed!
