I've had a lot on my mind this week. It was all about saying I would do something and then wishing I'd never said I would. It was all about doing a display for our Harvest Festival at church.
When it's Harvest time at church the different organisations are always asked to decorate a windowsill or area of the church. I was asked to do the porch. I spent all week thinking about colour schemes, looking around the flower shops to see what was available, looking around the garden to see what I could cut, looking through magazines to get ideas. I asked a friend to help me who was good at flower arranging.
I wanted to do something that represented autumn.. So I thought about autumn colours and autumn in the hedgerows. I collected berried branches for an autumn harvest. There was hypericum, rose hips and a shrub dripping with berries which I found at the allotments but I don't know what its name is. There were seed heads and hydrangea. We finished off with some pears and apples arranged amongst leaves to look like windfall apples and pears.
