From the garden today. Unusual this late in the year.

    1. Brought all the tomatoes in to ripen in paper bags. We still have lots.

    1. And we were surprised by how good they were.

  4. Same here with roses, they certainly benefited from what was mostly a sunny and mild to warm month here.

  5. Did the blackbirds miss them I wonder? Enjoy, dipped in granulated sugar.

    1. Blackbirds seem to have gone into the fields for now, another indication of how mild it has been.

  6. Nature definitely seems very confused lately. Strawberries in November is very unusual. I wonder if they will taste sweeter than usual. Grapes get sweeter the longer they stay on the vine, as I know from a wine-tasting talk.

    1. There have been a lot of strawberries forming, but going mouldy before ripening. These two did ripen.

  7. We still have a couple of raspberries hanging on. What a confused year it has been.

    1. Our raspberries always produce one or two late fruit.

  8. The two strawberries make me think of Mr & Mrs Dunham lying in bed together on a Sunday morning. I have thought of two word balloons to add but I do not wish to cause offence so I have censored myself.

  9. They look small. I've always found large to be overrated. Nice to imagine though.

    1. Average. Supermarket strawberries tend to be enormous, and tasteless.

I welcome comments and hope to respond within a day or two, but my condition is making this increasingly difficult. Some days I might not look here at all. Also please note that comments on posts over two weeks old will not appear until they have been moderated.
