I returned from London to late sunshine and the golden flowers of Jerusalem artichokes glowing bright yellow.  They are related to sunflowers and look like their junior cousins.

The cows were particularly pleased to see me, sticking their wet noses through the post and rail fencing and trying to lick me and the ipad. I felt truly appreciated until I looked at my watch and realized that it was just cupboard love and it was nearly dinner time for cattle!
