When I realized... It's already in October!
Seriously, I just did not know how fast time goes after I opened my Cafe.
It's a really problem.
I have so many things to do and plan, only time goes by.
・・・Anyway, I managed to bake 60 Chestnuts cakes last night.
These are some I made last year... this year,
they are not as pretty as these... why?
Tomorrow, I have planned to steam Kimi-Shigure. Well, my to-do list carries on and on...
I don't want to believe, it's already in October.
This year the weather is too mild... yes, it's still just like summer during midday. Nice and sunny... not a lot of rain nor wind.
This should be a season for strong rain and gust... right?
This month's sweet "Kimi-Shigure".
"Shigure" represents the surface of soil after large rain falls and dry period. You will see a lot of cracking on the soil.
This year, no rain before dry period, so not a lot of "Shigure" can be seen....
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
Here is an announcement.
Next weekend, 11th and 12th of October, I will have a stall in a large event of traditional Japaneses Flower Arrangement Group, Ikenobo. There are a large number of exhibition as well as demonstrations by the future successor.
There was a request from them.
To make and serve some Traditonal Japanese sweets based on flowers and plants.
So I thought and thought.
There would be chestnuts, lespedeza, chrysanthemu, Japanese anemone, acer, ginkgo, rose and lavender, etc, etc... I am in the way of planning, so I still don't know what kind of sweets I can make.
If I have a chance, I would like to show some of photos here.

The hall is just 5 min on foot from East Croydon station. Could not be any more convenient.
To be honest, I really don't know about flower arrangement.
However, beautiful flowers lift me up whenever I am down. Maybe it's same that tasty sweets lifts me up... ? This could be a good chance to get know about traditional flower arrangements.
So I hope you enjoy "not-so-traditional" an-an's sweets in the event of "inventing-traditional" Ikenobo Flower Arrangements.

I strongly advice to book the ticket on line,
but there also tickets available at the door on those days.
