Son Charlie (aged 21 no less) came back from Alton Towers last night after having spent two days and one night, at no little expense, enjoying himself. ‘The place is full of Ceps Dad. There’s even one growing out of the wall at head height – honestly. The place was riddled with them’.

As the light fades and the temperature drops, it’s time to brush down the barbecue and move back indoors for our meals. And though it’s sad to say goodbye to summer, we can draw consolation from the culinary delights of autumn – roast meats, slow-cooked casseroles of game, root vegetables, squashes and autumn’s fruit and berries.

With the summer (what summer?) becoming a distant damp memory and winter’s chill merely a few frosty mornings away, appetites are whetted in anticipation of autumn’s natural countryside harvest getting in full swing. Nothing is more wild and British at this time of year than game, the seasonal harvest of bird and beast.

Surely the highlight in the county’s foodie calendar, the Bidwells Norwich and Norfolk Food Festival 2008 promises to be a glutton’s paradise. The festivities proper kick off on Wednesday 8 October at the city’s Forum followed by a whole week of foodie merriment, ending on Tuesday 14 October. Norfolk’s huge agricultural heritage, strong support for any home-crafted produce from the county and a wealth of wonderful native foods hand crafted by proud artisans result in a fun packed calendar of events, here are just a few highlights.
