Harvest
It can't be autumn yet, surely? It's still August. But the heat has gone out of the weather, the days are shorter, the students are returning, and it is blackberry season:
It is nothing to boast about, that the brambles have overrun our garden: I have failed as a gardener, and as a responsible neighbour, too. Butdirham_rambler goes out and gathers their fruit - this is the third or fourth bowlful, and not the largest, either. Yesterday we went to the little parade of shops at Cheveley Park, where there is a greengrocer (also a mini-Sainsbury's, a cashpoint and a charity shop) and bought cooking apples, and there will be apple-and-blackberries for dinner, and more to freeze...
I am so pleased to have found a greengrocer: I also bought Victoria plums and a perfectly ripw avocado (I made guacamole).
