It is one of those less pleasant days of autumn outside, damp and dreary and grey. I'm actually a bit cold, in spite of layering up with a jumper. But when I look in the fridge, I am reminded of the sunny side of September. Figs. I just love them.

Top: nut and raisin bread with goats' cheese and figs. Bottom: fig salad with prosciutto and buffalo mozzarella (from Laverstoke Park Farm, delicious).
