What a gorgeous cover Lia! We’ve had a couple of evening wanders on the moors, glad to see skylarks and curlews overhead. And an unexpected moorland cow that sniffed my leg and startled me into an ankle deep bog.
A walk on a long empty beach with my husband, step daughter and her partner. Never too grown up to skim stones* and paddle in rock pools. And our dog was happy to find some disgusting things to roll in. Love this time of year 🌞. Enjoying the orchids that are now popping up everywhere too. Happy Friday folks.
Have a lovely holiday Lia - and bravo on the sweet peas and tomatoes. Mine are far from that stage but I live in hopes! We are off to Tiree tomorrow - my other happy place I couldn’t go to last year because of my BC. This will be such a homecoming!
Walking the city streets and parks smelling the languorous lime blossom .Roses in the rain holding the diamond drops on their furled petals .Rambling roses tumbling through treetops as we drove through the Somerset Lanes🌹 and munching the first delicious Broad beans that our local shop has from their Somerset Growers . And the Pink Moon shows up low and rather difficult to spot due to our cloudy skies 🌕
I’ve noticed how tall the grasses are in the fields and it must be almost time for that first cut. That sweet smell is one of my favourites. It’s also Whit Friday which, round these parts, means the brass bands will be out in force later. A magnificent soundtrack to hopefully a glorious sunny evening. Happy holidays Lia
I love the cover, so beautiful. Look at that low orange moon. My seasonal moment this week was eating raspberries fresh from the cane, warm from the sun. And I did "pick your own strawberries" for the first time ever on Sunday in Fife! Not all of the 1.5kg I gathered in my punnet even made it off the farm... They're just so snackable 🍓
Pegging out washing, hearing a steady hum from diligent bees enjoying the profusion of blossom on our raspberry canes.

Love the concept of an unexpected moorland cow 😄 Less keen on the ankle deep bog…
There’s usually sheep up there, never seen a cow before. I had very wet feet!

*Not me - I'm a hopeless stone skimmer 😁.

Fabulous Isle I am off there for the Sea Change Women's Film Festival in September enjoy !!!
Have a fantastic trip Sue!
Enjoy!
I went to check the tiny apricot that is the first fruit on the tree from a stone. It dropped into my hand and I ate it.
Sam Cannon’s cover artwork is perfect.
my apricot tree that i grew from a stone had 3 this year, 2 of which were taken by birds but 1 is still clinging on.
oh wow! homegrown apricot!
My farmer friend has the first ever peaches on the tree he grew from seed, 3 of them , tiny and very furry.
Wow how lovely
Just enough ripe strawberries in my tiny strawberry patch for me to eat every day with my breakfast.
Im growing peas and they are flowering. Beautiful cover.
I feel as though I can smell those delicious tomato leaves and sweetpeas in your photos, yummy!
Being in southern Spain we are treated to lemons falling, literally, into our laps! Lemon on fish and avocados, chunks in sparkling water…
the cover for your new book is enchanting . what a delight to look at . I will certainly buy one to enjoy forest folktales and songs
Eating my first home grown strawberry still warm from the sun. Delicious!
Beautiful cover for the next Almanac 💥

That sounds great Debra! Are you in the North East?
North West, Sarah 🤗
And that Almanac cover is so beautiful Lia. Have a great holiday!
All the wild strawberries to eat 😊
