Unlike many other parts of the country, Wairau Valley in Marlborough continues to enjoy warm, temperatures and lovely sunny days. It just makes sense to get out in the garden au naturel and to pick the remainder of the masses of peaches and apples on the trees. The autumnal glow all around us now that the leaves are turning serves to remind us that winter is on its way. Sure we have the occasional early frost, but you can bet that the rest of the day will be lovely and clear. So if you have nothing on... come and spend some time with us. We are open until after Easter. Brian, the proverbial 'squirrel' in the family, has been cooking up delicious pumpkin soup, preserving beans, peaches, relish and jams. So there will be no shortage of food in the deep freeze and in the cupboards while he is swanning around France. Yes, he is off again, the 'bag boy' also; while Nud and I hold the fort. Time for me to immerse myself with the backlog of writing and reading. With masses of firewood in the shed, Wai-natur will be a pretty good place to spend the winter.
