dinner, dessert and roses

On a rather gloomy September Wednesday the inhabitants of this household enjoyed a pretty delicious dinner and dessert. Courgette-tomato-carrot-gratin.

Rhubarb toffee (or at least so the recipe states, me I'm not sure about the appropriateness of such a name for that concoction)

And the flowerbed still offers a surprising, delightful plethora of roses in bloom or bud. Summer lingers on. So pleased am I.
