Cooler today but still clear, bright and sunny. Should go to 25-ishC with luck. Light warm breeze. Definite flavour of autumn. Whingeing Toms nearly finished now but pears still going strong. Hard as rock right now, need two weeks post-picking before ready to eat. Can nevertheless be poached in wine/amaretto as a dessert with ice cream.
Medieval period still holds my interest, as do the Celts. Did a project on them for A-level, quite fascinating. Have tried to study ancient Chinese history but got defeated by the names; couldn’t keep track of who was whom!
