It’s starting to feel like autumn. The Deacons Pears are just about ready (I had one for lunch yesterday), and the overnight temperatures have dropped – it was down to 9C. For the first time in nearly three months the central heating had come on for me to get up to – at least, in the bathroom and kitchen (I think the warmth from the back of the fridge temporarily in the back room next to my armchair meant it wasn’t needed there).
