It's been a bit windy today to put it mildly, and the worst has come to pass -- we have lost the polytunnel cover...
We did order a new one the other day which is now in courier-land, but it didn't arrive in time... Oh well, we knew it was going to happen at some point, and we did get the first lot of plastic for free, so...
The only thing that was really still in the polytunnel was the last of the unripened tomatoes so they have all now been picked:
21 pounds worth. (That's 1 1/2 stone for all you British people...) I guess we will have vast quantities of green tomato chutney this winter -- mind, we still have a few jars left from last year that we haven't used up yet!
The wind has also taken most of the leaves off the trees -- this is why we never get nice autumn coloured leaves -- they're gone before they get the chance to turn...
And this is one of the sheep's drinking troughs -- looking a bit choppy like the sea!
