Autumn snapshot


Woke early and popped out to the car boot, bearing in mind there probably won't be many more this year. I didn't find much vintage, just this pretty jug for 50p and a few old books, but there was some autumn bounty.
A huge bag of tomatoes for 50p, ripe Victoria plums, crisp cucumbers from the owner's greenhouse and the flowers above (50p). So, tonight's food was: tomato soup:
Home made bread (it was so warm today, the bread rose in about half an hour):
 And apple cake, of course there was apple cake....there is going to be apple cake for months and months to come! This is Mary Berry's recipe, thanks to Fiona who left a comment suggesting it was a good one. It is great, but I am going to try lots of different ones and see which is the most successful.

    Great car boot bargains especially the lovely jug. Glad you like MB's apple cake recipe, it's always a winner here and I love it mostly 'cos it's so damn easy.

    Love your new header. Busy playing catch up so had three posts to read which was lovely. We lost our last apple tree last year but had some lovely apples delivered in our veg box so I made Dorset Apple cake yesterday - all gone now. Hope you are enjoying early autumns peacefulness. Karen xx

    Ah yes - there is something great about this time of year when there is so much goodness around. I haven't made an apple cake for years and somewhere I have my mum's old recipe that I must now dig out!
    Lovely new header - just right for the season
    Best wishes
