Market day in Llantrisant...and it rained, an all too frequent occurrence these days. But we were warm and dry in the old church hall, and while customers may have been a bit thin on the ground; the chatter certainly flowed.

As I write this now, the smell of bubbling apples (in preparation for Apple & Mint Jelly) is wafting through the house and mingling with the slightly less agreeable whiff of 3 wet dogs...very autumnal, and it's only August!
