it is amazing how the allotment looks as though Summer is coming to an end. The beans are showing signs of dying back, the tomatoes have blight, the leaves on the squash are turning yellow and we are having cooler evenings. The ducks are also in the middle of their moult so will be getting their winter plumage. They are all very lethargic at the moment and looking a bit bedraggled. There is also a nice covering of feathers all over their compound.
As I can't get on with the harvest until the kitchen floor has finished, I have spent time in my sewing room and, also in preparation for Autumn have made a lovely waterproof cover for my bike basket.
I struggled to find some fabric that co-ordinated but I am sure one of the spots matches.
It is fully tailored with elastic round the bottom and a clip fastener at the back for extra security. I have tried at high speed and there is no risk of it blowing off so, in the event of being caught in a sudden shower, everything should be nice and secure and dry (except me).
