Started the day with The Book Club which began a year ago. We were discussing "The Consolations of Philosophy" by Alain de Botton. This led to talking about philosophy,art,life and much more. It was a very interesting and lively group. In the afternoon John's daughter Sam came with the children to pick mulberries. AS we have had 2 beautiful days of sunny weather the fruit has ripened well. We picked 2 buckets full and there is plenty more to come. The dogs, Rannoch and Jasper joined in the fun.
After they had gone we collapsed on the veranda with a glass of wine and cup of coffee to enjoy the wonderful clear evening sky.
There must be something stinging around as I have some nasty bites on my neck.
Earlier I had made a lemon sponge cake and scattered mulberries in the mixture before baking it - yum!
I have put in some veggie seeds too, so they will soon catch up with the beetroot and courgette plants already growing. I must go to water them.
