Soft September days.

 A friend called in today.     He brought Autumn veg from his allotment.    Is there anything nicer than sharing your produce.     I gave him four large hardy Fuschia.
 I love September.     It is my favourite month.   It is a soft month.     A nostalgic month.
 I was married in September.      In fact, today is our 47th wedding anniversary.
 Poppi was born on this day 12 years ago.        Our best  anniversary present yet.
 How the years fly.           


Mr P and I took ourselves to Rye for the day.
We lunched in the Mermaid Inn.   The building is 600 years old and has a reputation for being haunted.
Whilst we did not see any ghosts, lunch was fabulous.
The setting atmospheric.     It is said that Shakespeare visited the Inn.

I had a wonderful day with a wonderful man.

    Cheryl congratulations with your 47th wedding anniversary and also with your daughter. So nice to have a day out to Rye, a wonderful place, I know because we also once were there. Great to have lunch in such a famous historic inn.

    Fantastic example of the bartering economy there! The vegetables look terribly tasty

    Such a gorgeous selection of photographs, and I do agree with you, there is something special about September ...
    It's obviously very special for you and Mr P - happy anniversary wishes.
    We visited Rye some years back now, a lovely place for lunch and a 'mooch' around the shops ...
    Happy Birthday Wishes to Poppi too.

    Enjoy the month

    All the best Jan

    You lucky lady, those veggies are gorgeous and I imagine taste as good as they look. I would love to find a hardy fuchsia. I wonder if they would grow in my climate? I have one hardy begonia. It is always a lovely surprise when it arises late in spring. It is now blooming.
    I wish you and Stewart a very happy Anniversary. 47years is something to be proud of. You two have worked so hard to be together and still happy after all these years. Fabulous!! Gary says Happy Anniversary too! It sounds like you had a perfect day! I like September too. My daughter Carrie was born this month. :)

      Wonderful veg Lisa.....I am so enjoying eating them:)

      The fuchsia I grow will take to around -10C I do not think they would survive in your zone. I would be interested to know if you did find one which would survive.

      It was a wonderful day Lisa. we had such a lot of fun and I was spoilt.

    A belated Happy Anniversary! We will celebrate our 48th in November, and Beckie and Steve will celebrate their 50th at the end of October. Where does the time go?? Your garden looks so lovely. I am happy, too, that autumn has finally arrived. We had some summer-like temperatures in September, but I think that is finally over. I took two of the grandsons to a local pumpkin patch yesterday and brought home a trunk full of pumpkins to decorate--now it really feels like fall to me!

    Something very strange is happening in Bloggerland. I was looking for my last comment on your December 30th post and it was gone! And somehow I ended up here!

    Ah well. September is a nostalgic month. Seems to be in the air somehow with summer winding down, children back to school, I'm not really sure, but I've always felt that way as well. September was my mother's favourite month too with her and my Dad's wedding anniversary on the 15th.

    My grandmother's birthday was September 11th, 1895 (or 6, I think) and I remember my mother writing letters to her mother (not just birthdays but regularly). September was also when our garden produce was at it's best and I remember vividly digging up carrots as a child (they were my fav). The tomatoes were ripe and juicy.

    Congrats on your 47th! And dear little Poppi's birth month as well. She probably wouldn't like to be called "little" any more!

    Sounds like. you had a perfect day!
