The start of Autumn. It signifies different things to different people.
The end of Summer? It's sad, but the benefits should outweigh any passing melancholy.
Swells? Yeah, we already covered that.
Angry wasps? We could do without them. Makes it very difficult to enjoy my jam sandwich when they're having a moody day.
Significantly less days until Christmas? Yeah, I'm excited too.
To me though, if I'm honest, it's all about the blackberries. To be able to wander off the coast path and gorge myself until I'm sick in the hedge? Pure heaven.
I personally prefer the slightly red ones. Tart, yes, but I prefer the crunch of unripe wild fruit to the crunch of a tubby maggot.
But that's just me. Each to their own.
