Above, Sutton Bonington sets into Autumn colours, never seen the Harlequin berry tree before!

 Mud glorious mud - at schools cross country, yr 7 boys, yr 8 girls.

Autumn also means apples foraged from some unloved tree that nevertheless produces monster delicious fruit! Apple cake here, 4oz butter, flour, ground almonds, 2 eggs, some sugar and a bit of cinnamon. Nice crunchy top yet moist in the middle. One bowl, one cake tin and in the oven.
