Toodle pip

Toodle pip ... meaning goodbye ... to the weaker baby apples as the Summer winds have blown them off the trees and on to the floor. Years ago such fruits would most likely have been eaten by foraging pigs but the pet cat certainly has no need to forage and fruit would probably be at the very bottom of her eating list.

Windfall baby Bramley apples

It is St Swithin's day today ~~~ and unlike last year it has been a lovely, pleasant Summer's day.

'Let us all maketh merry,

St Swithin's sun bathes the berry.

The distant view lies in a haze,

Good fortune lasts one hundred days.'

:) 'Hip, hip, hip, hooray!'
