Step Into My Cottage Kitchen! Old Lammas at The Old Shop

First veg harvest // full moon over the cornfield // golden hay bales // a magical Old Lammas pudding // rowan berry string // blackberry tincture // permaculture garden update // Old Lammas lore I’m Imogen, an artist and writer trying to build a sustainable and creative life on a shoestring, in a flint-cobbled Norfolk former village shop. It’s Old Lammas and this is especially fascinating to me as I watch the summer sliding into a golden early autumn and know that, because of the 1752 calendar change, this is the time that the medieval Lammas Fairs would have taken place. The air smells different. The grain is ripe and ready. Rowan berries, blackberries and sloes are sprinkled like jewels through the hedgerows. The gardens are doing better than I could have hoped after my earlier neglect, with small but tasty harvests of radishes, turnips, runner, broad and French beans, courgettes, spinach, coriander and salad leaves - and more to come. In the cottage, I make a special Old Lammas pudding and weave a little abundance magic. Speaking of abundance, there are so many juicy blackberries along the lane that the freezer is overflowing, so I make a tincture and plan more preserves. I thread vivid rowan berries for protection and have a chat about the old ways and how calendrical and astronomical time are continually chasing each other’s tails. There’s a constant low background roar from combine harvesters, as day after day more hay bales are scattered over the wide fields like knobbly embroidery on a golden cloth. And the full moon rises, huge and orange, over it all.
