Crop Corner

Who was it that said the seasons are predictable? Oh yes, it was me, last month! And I have sat here during the intervening month watching persistent rain showers falling whilst listening to the radio giving out drought warnings and hosepipe bans! As I write, the wind is blowing brown leaves from the trees! All over the country, ripe berries are appearing on the bramble bushes and the local fox droppings are decidedly fruity. So, despite a rather poor summer, autumn is descending upon us with a determined rapidity.
