I stopped the car in a lay-by on Mill Road just now and jumped out to watch the vertical ascent and listen to the song of this skylark. Apologies for the photo.

Heavy warm rain due all day

and the cows are keeping dry in the barn

Even though I have leather gauntlets my arms and legs are scratched and bloody today from picking this quintessentially English summer fruit. It is my least favourite summer task.


Does anyone know what this insect is? I don’t.


A great conversationalist
