Vlog 9 - The Blood of Mulberries

I Started this week's vlog with hands stained crimson from mulberry picking - proper high Summer village fruit harvesting life! But don't worry, it's not as dramatic as it looks... well, not the mulberries anyway.

This week I'm sharing a gorgeous purple Laura Ashley linen dress I nabbed from the charity shop - sometimes the vintage gods just smile on you! Perfect timing with my purple-stained fingers too.

There's the usual allotment updates as I'm getting the winter veg sorted and building more defences against the local wildlife who think our plots are their personal buffet.

Plus another lovely visit to @wildgardenveg because we all need a bit of garden inspiration.

And yes, there's a bit of drama involving some rather disappointing people who clearly don't understand the concept of paying what they owe. But we'll keep calm and carry on, won't we?
