Focus on Life Week 32: Fresh air

Summer in England continues to be sunny and dry (great for the ripening crops!), and thankfully the temperatures have dropped a tad, and occasionally there have been actual breezes (gosh!)

 So I did as Sally suggested - I got outside in the fresh air on my scooter...

... can't wait for these blackberries to ripen - hubby makes delicious jam :-)

 PS Autumn must be just around the corner - this started on TV this week - hooray!!

      Hi Claire, enjoy that show for me! I will try and "guess" whats happening on it from what people write about it on their blogs! I just hope we get this series eventually!
      as for my kitchen, well progress is slow but steady! Should be ready in a month or so as dh is doing most of the work himself.

      Good luck with that... my hubby 'did' the kitchen in our 1st home - 10 years later when we sold it, there were still no skirting boards, no beading on the counter-tops, tiles, etc... :)

    I love blackberries too, but ours are frustratingly small this year! good luck with your harvest!

    Your blackberries are so pretty. It's tough waiting for them to ripen - don't you just want to pull them off and eat them?!! I have no patience - they would never make it to 'jam' status!! LOL!!

    I love anything with blackberries, but I like them best super ripe and to just pop them in my mouth!

    How lucky that your hubby is a jam-man! I have never heard of that show but it sounds like it is known by some of the others. It looks good. My favorite UK import is Downton Abbey. (Other than baby George.)
