The whole of Britain is bathed in sunshine - except us. Out here on the coast we are blanketed by a thick sea fog. The temperature hovers in the mid-teens. Overnight the German naturists have decided to head inland in search of warmth. Naturism and sea fog don't make good bedfellows.
No sign of the young deer but heading down the farm track towards the house we have to pause the car while four young hares bound by. The farmer, who is out checking on his wheat, says he's seen the better part of a dozen this morning. It's a bumper year for hares. The farmer is already talking about harvesting. Both the potatoes and the wheat are 'coming on'.
The bakers omni functional biscuits have been through another seasonal metamorphosis. This time they've been reincarnated as ' Strawberry biscuits '.
Inland it's sunny and fog free. By the time we make it into town the tourists have already taken all the parking spaces. The cafe by the cocktail bar is full with happy latte drinkers.

It dipped down to eleven degrees overnight - enough of a change to cause condensation on The Grey's windows, which also suggests a lot of humidity. The very earliest sign of approaching autumn! I had noted all the fields of grain turning yellow and hay already being baled... YAM xx
That first photo is wonderful, I love a foggy morning,
I agree, that's a very atmospheric shot of the hare. The article on vaccinations was a good reminder. Maybe surprisingly, Japan is also pretty lax on vaccinations - another place where people seem to worry more about the jab itself than the illness it prevents. While living there, I had both the mumps and whooping cough, although I was considered to be immune to both. This whole discussion makes me nuts.
Thank you for the link to The Colors [Colours] of Assisi. I didn’t realize that I liked the illustrated essay genre so much. She had me at the first brush strokes.
I too appreciate The Colours of Assisi link. The baker's display is a bit ho-hum.
