There will be enough fruit this year, in late summer or autumn. Already there are wild strawberries and wild cherries, though they are not very big. There are lots of green apples on the old apple tree, among the lichen. Look at all the bramble flowers in the hedges. I am looking forward to picking blackberries and making jam or pies with apples and blackberries. There are berries coming that we shouldn't eat, wild arum for example. The honeysuckle flowers are very beautiful, and they have a sweet smell, but don't eat the berries. Sometimes red is dangerous.

The world is full of signs, more signs than usual. I can see two signs at the same time – a road sign and an estate agent’s signboard. It’s true – a ruin is for sale – but is it buyable? Two miles from here there are more notices by the church. It’s a sad thing – there are no services in November. And there are more notices on the parish board. The Countryside Code: Respect other people; Protect the natural environment; Enjoy the outdoors. Deg ger rag hedhyw:  Ten words for t...
