Christmas is a very busy time for us at Hen Corner, as we run courses on Christmas baking and making Christmas food gifts as well as the wreath-making course. Vouchers for our courses also make good Christmas gifts.

The Christmas season has officially begun, so said Classic FM this morning, and I’ll be starting this week in style at Olympia London.
I’m bringing the Christmas chapter of my book to life as I host The Christmas Corner at the Ideal Home Show Christmas, 26th -30th November. -
This month we are harvesting the vegetables for Christmas dinner, making festive wreaths and taking hardwood cuttings of currant bushes. There’s also our recipe for seasonal Leek Tarte Tatin.
When we ‘grow our own’ we save money, reduce our carbon footprint and enjoy both the time outside and the fruits of our labour. -
I love winter. I love the cosy evenings, overnight frosts, twinkling lights, cheerful music and warming food. The colder days almost bring the garden to a pause and so we don’t feel guilty spending our weekend afternoons baking special treats or taking time out to meet with family and friends.

Now that the clocks have gone back and Half Term is behind us, we at Hen Corner are focusing on Christmas and it is all systems go, both on the production front – note the chutneys and preserves pictured above – and in terms of running courses, including Christmas wreath-making.

With half term behind us, we are now on the big countdown and I love every minute of it! I’m planning seasonal activities for my family, my church and, of course, loads of events with Hen Corner. Very soon I’ll be bring the Christmas chapter of my book to life at Olympia London as I host The Christmas Corner as part of the Ideal Home Show Christmas.

This month we are harvesting the last of the figs and the first of the brassicas, we’re cutting back the grapevine and collecting fallen leave to make mulch for next year.

While the days are still long and mostly warm, nature is on the home run to finish the season well.
Our column in this issue of Out & About Magazine delights in our autumn harvest and shares a recipe for our Courgette & Cumin Chutney… -
This month we celebrate the changing colours of autumn and recognise that early morning chills are a whisper to tell us that the seasons are changing whilst darker evenings find us searching for cosy light.
Different seasons bring different responsibilities, but all with worthwhile reward.
