Well the Cherry Trees are now just about barren, but I've noticed a few Sloe's already turning purple, managed to snaffle a couple of Mulberries and even a blackberry today while walking the dogs
Some apples are already turning rosy, but likely to still be a few weeks before they are ripe enough to eat. Need to do a walk past the Damson Tree, see how that's doing as well.
The season is marching onwards.

it is but in my opinion it's not going bloody fast enough.
I CAN'T STAND THE HEAT...

One of my apple trees in the garden has already dropped its load due to the dry weather. Or...... a third of the trees in the north orchard have had an unusually high June drop...That sounds better. ;D ;D ;D

Les,
Never thought of it like that. Re-read it and it does have a progressive rhythm in it. Probably the best poetry I've ever written - I think I'd better go lie down and recover.

Ha ha....I have never forgiven a literacy teacher from my junior school days...she was teaching poetry and asked us to write a short poem, one verse, which rhymed and scanned and summed up what you felt about the winter. I wrote, "my toes are froze and so's my nose". I got caned for being flippant....But I didn't know what flippant meant, so how could I have been?
It took me a long time to get back into poetry...think I found it about 30 verses in to the Ancient Mariner!

I write poetry sometimes, it is usually absolute rubbish but I quite enjoy the process.

I'm having to turn the air conditioning on in my workshop and then I have to put a smock on as it's too cold. ;D
-
Aircon !!! I just about manage light in my garage/workshop.
-
My aircon is very complex. Involves opening the doors right out and then opening the windows.

Pete mine is a bit more sophisticated than that, I open the doors, then open the windows buuutt then I turn on a fan by the window that extracts rather than blows in. So I get an extractor as well as air circulation. I like to get good value for money.
-
Have to try the fan John, Save electricity in the long run with the Henry etc,

I better not tell you about the log burner that I have on in the winter, I normally leave the door open and turn in my shorts and tee-shirt.

bugger. Extra thick padded romper suit for me in the winter.
