Before winter strikes

Yesterday Mon 18th November a chapter headed " An autumn stock take and a new pear cake"
Here Mr Slater is delighted, when taking stock of his garden, that he has created something so beautiful. 
He says for many his garden " ....is not a scene of romantic melancholy .....but an unholy mess in desperate  need of weeding, raking, sweeping and pruning" 
Which reminds me my garden is in desperate need of a huge tidy up before winter strikes!!!! Which apparently it is about to do according to the papers. 
However rather than do that I am going to make A pear and hazelnut cake. 
In Mr Slater's photo it looks divine. 
I over blitzed the crumble but the addition of a little more flour got this sorted! 
This was a very good tea time cake or coffee time!!!
Excellent flavour combination. Fruit is quite a surprise as you bite in. 
Needless to say this cake won't last very long!
