September is bountiful. There is free food in all the hedges – if it is possible to reach it. There are some sweet blackberries here – but there is a nettle-patch getting in my way. I have a tall pear tree in my garden, several years old, but this year is the first time that it has yielded fruit. What a big crop! I can enjoy two pears (though they are still unripe). Perhaps, next year there will be more for me. I saw this tree in (Merthereuny) St Euny church’s cemetery. I don’t recognise it, but I looked in a book. I cannot be sure, but I believe it is a walnut tree. The nuts are not ripe. Who will pick them up?
