North Fife July 20th

Another lovely day, intermittent cloud and sunshine, warm too.

Along the wayside brambles abound promising rich pickings when ripened.

Wild Scabious flower, there are various clusters dotted along my way to and from Newburgh, it's a very attractive flower to nectar and pollen eating insects too.

A few hours later, the sun began to dip below the horizon...the end of another day...mmmmm

Then that was me...zzzzzzzzz

Blackberries Plums Newburgh North Fife

Yesterday in a Newburgh High Street garden it became obvious that this years Fruit sale will be of excellent quality and quantity if the profusion of this wee patch is anything to go by. A veritable temperate zone  garden of Eden.

 

This garden, part of the historic Newburgh Orchard is a little unkempt, what a wonderful outcome, brambles have grown up the plum trees displaying flowers earlier and now festooning fronds of delicious fruit. Such richness.

Boughs made pendulous with the weight of fruit making it easier to gather. A gatherers heaven.

 

Above is the garden bramble and below roadside, not so lush but just as tasty.
