		<title>Stocking-up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The larder shelves are full of marmalades and jam, the freezer is full of blackberries, tomato sauces and stewed apples with blackberries for winter porridge and suddenly it&#8217;s September! 

 
   So now it&#8217;s time to get down to some sewing  -  Cattapilla Designs has had a good summer and stock is getting low.  Even this far away from anywhere, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blackberries &amp; Butterflies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The blackberries are ripening fast so every afternoon I take my containers and stumble about in the hedgerows gathering berries.  My fingers are sore with thorns and nettle stings and my legs scratched and bruised but it&#8217;s worth it.   But why are the best always unreachable?  They sit there temptingly in the sunshine ready to plop into you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hedgerows &amp; History</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The hedgerows on Bere Island are beautiful in August.  They have never been sprayed with herbicides so are full of the wild flowers I remember from my childhood.  Yarrow, honeysuckle, the ubiquitous fuschia humming with bees, meadowsweet, purple loosestrife, willow herb, tufted vetch, birds foot trefoil -  isn&#8217;t that a wonderful name &#8211; knapweed, privet, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pea Souper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Shouldn&#8217;t the treat of shelling summer peas be undertaken whilest sitting in the early evening sunshine with a cold gin and tonic to hand?

Ha!  I podded these sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of tea, wearing a fleece and my magnificent new socks (now a pair) having had to don wet weather gear to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fabulous Fabrics #2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
American Feedsack fabrics are amongst my favourites.  They come in a standard size, some still stiched along the bottom and sides,  others with the stitch marks clearly visible.

  The cotton is a loose weave and as they have been used, it&#8217;s already soft.  Some are badly marked or torn and only small pieces are usable [...]]]></description>
