Autumn raspberries

Went up to the plot at about 4.00 pm today. Already getting dark, very windy and spitting rain. Not a soul around. I had a handful of autumn raspberries - they were dark, juicy and the best I've had all year. Quickly ran around the plot, my high heeled boots sticking in the mud, to get some veg for dinner. The plastic bags kept blowing away and my scarf wrapping itself around my face, obscuring my vision. The ground was littered with windfall apples from neighbouring plots, including one last giant cooking apple on ours. The sprouting broccoli needs supporting, a job for the weekend.

Made a mental note to fix the shed, same mental note I always make.
