Week 29

Blackberries?!

Hello!

Welcome to our weekly post in which we gather up snippets of the week, with the hope of making a kind of seasonal picture of the year as it evolves. I tell you something you have noticed that felt particular to this week in the year and then you tell me yours. They are like little windows into multiple July worlds, and I love them.

Here’s mine:

Blackberries?!

Somehow it is blackberry time …or nearly. These are not quite edible, not quite dripping off of the branches, still a bit too like hard little fists, and I have not popped a single one into my mouth yet, but it is undeniable that they are here.

Wild.

That’s it from me, a quickie this week. Next week will be even briefer as I am going to be away, so I will put up a ‘holding’ post so that you can all drop your comments, as we do hate to miss a week…but excuse me being absent. I will no doubt have LOTS to tell you the following week.

Now over to you. What have you done/noticed/seen/eaten/watched on telly this week that felt particularly this week? Give us your graduations, your summer festivals, your courgette gluts? We want them all.
