It is now the end of summer and life is easy.
There has been a great crop of fruit in the garden this year, starting with a few good servings of strawberries, then thousands of mulberries from two trees. Since then there have been big juicy apricots and plums, most of which went into jam. Now we have tomatoes which grow wild wherever I have spread compost. This is the third or fourth pick and there will be at least the same to come.
Nice to sit on the veranda in the late afternoon sun, with a glass.
And then there will be figs and a bumper crop of pears........
