September in the Gardens
It's time for apples, plums and pumpkins. There's crumble for pudding (and leftovers for breakfast). Blue tits hang off the sunflowers, eating the seeds. We pick the dead flower heads, threading the stems through the wire fence, a final feast for the birds.
We Take Thyme, Naturally
At Thyme
We took time to make Thyme, and in doing so have evolved into a destination which embodies slowness, harmony, and the beauty of the natural world.
Good Coffee ~ Olly Wilkins
Choosing an ethical coffee brand
Direct-trade is fairer than fair trade. There’s a real myth around fair trade where it isn’t actually as fair as you would first think. Quality is often compromised with fair trade whereas direct-trade links are more ethical and sustainable for both the farmer and the roaster.
Peach Melba
A firm favourite during the summer months, this recipe is a quick and flavourful way to transform all those peaches into a fresh and vibrant pudding. One for the last dregs of summer sun in September, for entertaining or dining al fresco.
September in the Meadows
September is a time of change in the meadows as the floriferous canvas evolves into a habitat for barn owls and other birds, as well as autumnal wildflower species.

August in the Garden
Black birds hop between blackcurrant bushes, stealing fruit we haven't been quick enough to pick; lettuces - almost alarmingly - seem to double in size overnight; runner beans race up poles.

Fresh and vibrant, this delectable recipe is the centrepiece of our summer lunch menu, celebrating the edible flowers and herbs growing in abundance in our gardens this summer.
