went out for a country drive and then a roam along the river lads

blackberries are out in force, if I had known I would have taken a tub with me.... loads of ripe ones too, that must be about 3 weeks ahead of usual

did notice the leaves on the horse chestnut were going golden already in the week but thought that might be due to heat, now i'm not so sure

could be a harsh winter ahead lads
