Il n'est pas long, le temps des cerises

[shewhomust]

Yesterday I believed in summer. I walked into town without a jacket, and I took my camera with me to photograph the bluebells down the road:

The first cherries had arrived at the greengrocer's, and there is still asparagus. And the long evenings seem to have arrived while I wasn't paying attention.

Today is cooler, grey and overcast. The radio warns me of heavy showers, thunderstorms, and Theresa May visiting the northeast.

No local cherries here yet. Staffordshire is the big local source.

For some reason the sentence, "Today is cooler, grey and overcast" sounds really poetic to me. It sounds like a verse from a poem

Those are lovely <3

Oh, I don't think these were local - they may grow in gardens, but I doubt we have commercial growers.

It's blank verse - an iambic pentameter (but I didn't do it on purpose, and didn't realise I had, until you pointed it out)!

Thank you.

I'm glad you did! They're beautiful.

Is she a normal weather pattern or a consequence of climate change?

Thankyou.

Ask me that again in a month's time! I'm hoping she's just weather, and will pass...
