A season of mists and mellow fruitfulness.............from Ode to Autumn by John Keats composed in 1819, still so well describes the countryside at this time of the year. The skies have been exceptionally blue and the first frosts are a reminder of what is to come............
The days are shortening with terrifying speed and the days of salads and eating outside are ending, it is now a time for game and warming meals.........for pheasant and partridge, for crab-apple jelly and long walks in the countryside where the colours are beginning to change.........
Boiled new potatoes added to shallots cooked in olive oil and butter with added vegetables
This years partridge with woodpigeon and bacon..............food to keep you warm
