High summer is roaring along in my well shaded garden. Amongst it all are the harbingers of Autumn if you know where to look: Holly bushes dripping with green berries, hazel nuts are slowly forming, conker candles have given way to little prickly buds, cotoneaster bushes are showing a record crop, brambles (blackberries) are in flower and tiny, marble sized apples are everywhere.
Cherries are already out and being eagerly consumed, damsons aren't too far behind them. Nearly autumn.........
