WORKSHOP NEWS | JULY
Today was the first morning I noticed a change in the light.
6am and the sunrise was still low. A subtle shift that had a hint of Autumn in it.
Summer has fully ripened, I see. A reminder to savour the season.
Workshop production has reached its zenith at the same time.
We're wonderfully stocked, mirroring the abundant farm gardens.
What a feeling to work under bag lined shelves. A window of calm that means I can send off your orders as soon as they arrive.
Enjoy our list of found things from July below, plus a colourful surprise for your Ditty Bags.
With love from Argal Home Farm,
Ali
