Harvest Time September already? Surely not! We only just seem to be enjoying some summer sunshine—it can’t be due to change to autumn yet?! Maybe there will be an ‘Indian summer’ and we will all be basking in warmth until October—fingers crossed. The wet and damp weather has certainly had an effect on the garden, with many plants late blooming, or even rotting on the stem, as my poor roses seem to have done. Wildlife have been affected too, with a large drop in butterfly, bee and wasp populations this summer. It may seem like a blessing to have had so few wasps about, but it all has a knock on effect down the food chain. Spare a thought too for the local farmers who have had to try and harvest between spells of wet weather, I am sure they must be ready to move on from harvest season. Speaking of harvest—as usual we have Harvest Festivals at both St. James’ and the Methodist Chapel, further details are inside the magazine. These are lovely community events, both a pleasure to behold and take part in, so do try to join in with the festivals and suppers if you can. If you have something you would like to share then please do get in touch. Thanks to Tim Fothergill for this month’s cover—a very rural scene over the back fields of Hockwold—a view which constantly reminds me just how lucky we are to live here. Rather a view of hay bales than city streets any day!
