No – another full month to go. But there are plenty of signs of autumn in the hedgerows around Colemore Green – the bracken looks well past its best, and it will be worth returning to pick blackberries (looks like being a bumper crop). The sloes, wild plums and damsons are coming along nicely too, and some of the leaves are beginning to brown.

What a lovely read! I was out cycling today and noticed the exact same shift – harvesters working the fields, hedgerows starting to fade, and those first hints of autumn in the air. You’re right about the blackberries – the brambles are absolutely loaded this year! Makes those post-ride foraging stops even sweeter. 😊🍇
