What a lovely day! There are blackberries on brambles in the hedgerows and there are flowers on them as well – all together. We will get more until the weather turns. Perhaps animals are waiting for a change in the weather. As I was picking sloes and plums, I saw ten or eleven swallows (or are they house martins?). I need a telescope. Firstly, they were flying all around, hunting midges, and then they settled on some wires. They are not afraid of electricity. There is a long journey ahead of them. Someone is making good use of the good weather. Sailing boats are not common by the north coast - but here is one. The sea is calm and there is enough wind.
