Day 236 - August 24th

We went for a long walk over the fields this morning.

Lots more berries in the hedgerow....


..... including blackberries. 


We tried the blackberries and although they weren't as tart as those we sampled in Wales, they did have more taste than those we found last year. Hopefully a good sign that this years berries won't be as disappointing as last years.

Forecasters had said that today would be the best day of the bank holiday weekend and they weren't wrong. Look at that lovely blue sky. 



(Unfortunately tomorrow is forecast to be the worst day! Wayne and I have tickets to go to an open air 'Sundown Cinema' but we've just found out it's been cancelled - presumably because of the heavy rain predicted tomorrow)

Now instead of walking footpaths through the fields of crops, the footpaths are clear and we walked on straw.


Some of the fields have also already been ploughed which makes walking across them more of a challenge.

Disappointing that the Sundown Cinema was cancelled. There is an open air screening of 'Frozen' here on Weds which was postponed from last week due to rain.. Not sure how frozen it will feel as the temperature is likely to be more than 25C on Weds even in the evening.
