A Recipe for Autumn First take the two main ingredients Cherished happiness and successful hard work Grind to a pulp With a pestle and mortar Whilst adding the following ingredients in succession: Half a cup of succulent gleaming horse chestnuts, Two pints of brisk fierce wind (must be tempered before hand), The rustic, blissful, exiting essence of a gorgeous, sumptuous Christmas pudding mixture And the charming laughter of a child casting twenty pence pieces into it, Two teaspoons of brandy (the finest no half measures) And hot blackcurrant (strong for sore throats), Six freshly harvested, ripe, sun kissed crab apples And a selection of handpicked berries (any kind will do) Now have it simmer slowly over the heat of a late September sunny spell (this will bring out the flavour) Whilst this is going on chop the rest of the ingredients: A bag of indulgent sweets, caked in sugar from a frantic Halloween raid, Two kilograms of leaves collected with children from your local park In shades of; Peaceful ochre (makes it satisfying), Restless acid yellow (adds zing) Smouldering orange (makes it surprisingly Moorish) And majestic red (to balance everything else) Continue to chop and sprinkle gently in: A tablespoon of mud from a child̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s re-awakened Wellington boot, The bird song from a love struck robin (must be a male robin and therefore a red breasted robin, the darker the better), The smell of a harmonious farm yard, Each member striving to complete their various duties, The feeling of exhaustion after a long walk ( must be a walk you reluctantly agreed to go on but felt strangely pleased you did afterwards), The sound of chattering teeth And the warmth of another̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s smile Now combine with the other mixture and sieve Allowing the juices to mingle like the memories from September, October and November This mixture should now be a soft inviting colour that can̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t quite be categorised with other regular colours Finally place this mixture over a raging Guy Fawkes bonfire heat for a whole night In the morning garnish with light rain and sparklers from you know when Serve with hot buttered toast and cocoa in the evening Nothing left to do but shout dinner time what do you think please post!!!!!!!
