Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness

I love this time of the year before the harshness of winter sets in and make the most of every sunbeam by getting out and about each day and on the weekends, especially now that all the Waiheke and Ponsonby fruit has been harvested and transformed for enjoyment through the year. At present we are savouring beautiful ruby coloured guava jelly and equally vivid damson jam which I put into small cut-glass vintage glasses this year for ourselves and to give away.
