We were talking about the very same thing yesterday Anne. Its not been the sunniest of Summers up here(550 or so, miles north of you) and we really could do with a serious amount of rain and following a very late spring and dry winter, Autumn appears to be arriving right on schedule with the Rowan berries now nearing full ripeness. Soon we will start to hear the geese passing high above, heading South from Greenland and Iceland---------------------.
