Our little plum tree has failed us this year, but walking the dog is a pilfered fruity buffet. Holiday special: no forced public policy metaphors; just abundant free soft fruit. And puns.
Thank you - I owe you an Irn Bru. Not sure about the blackberries - I think they lacked July rain to get plump as well as sweet. It has been a strange summer - very few bees and butterflies in May/June, then a later burst - including coastal species (Jersey Tiger Moth) that we don't usually see here. Lots to be worried about - but I am trying to see the glass half full... they are busy chain-sawing the sycamore trees along the railway behind our fence (boo!) but as a result we had a really clear view of the meteor shower last night (hurray!).
A very subtle piece about The Commons! blackberries are great in Ireland this year, why not in Oxon? I thought they liked sunshine?

Having visited you as recently as June, I'm happily picturing you taking Mishti for a walk and those goats too. Enjoy the rest of the summer ☀️.
