So, The Duke of York was again the setting for our Christmas meal, and very nice it was too. Fifteen of us swapped our wellies and gardening gloves for something more appropriate and met for a very pleasant evening out.
Everyone seemed to have an enjoyable time and now we’re ready for the final push towards Christmas, wreathes and table decorations being the order of the day.

Well, several of us braved yet another rainy day to visit the garden at Stainsacre, and spent the morning chatting about our plans. Christmas wreaths and table decorations, pots of bulbs (next year), a Christmas night out and next week, a committee meeting.
It’s hard to find anything other than mud to photograph. Almost the whole plot is waterlogged, but these pots of strawberries looked quite cheerful. Last week we sat in the shed and discussed our plans for next spring- which seeds did well this year, (lettuce), which need successional sowing, (lettuce), and which were disappointing. We have been also been talking about winter veg and the idea of creating a special netted brassica bed on the main plot. Seems that most of us like our sprouts.
But in the meantime we’ll have to make do with leeks.
