figs and grapes

Where did we go for coffee and (birthday) cake this morning? Just one clue...

And happily, Petersham had my favorite fig and almond cake. So moist and moreish, the only thing missing was the candle!

While it was warm in the sunshine, the gardens and greenhouses looked positively autumnal, with grapes in abundance:

There were still plenty of flowers,

but the blooms were mainly in russety reds and oranges:

Even the shop displays were being re-worked to reflect the changing colors outside:

Fall has arrived...at least for me, and it seems for Petersham, too.

  3. That naughty Lynn - she and I were sending a comment at the same time and blogger refused to accept mine!

    So, what I tried to say was:

    Happy birthday - here's to a very happy year ahead!
