POBBLEBONKING?
That's the sound of the pobblebonk frog that lives here.
It may be an ugly little bastard, but it makes a marvellous noise, and gives us hope.

the colour of summer

While spring saw a veg patch enlivened by the purple flowers of chives and sage, and there's still traces of purple in the artichokes and eggplant, surely this - gold and luscious, almost drinking up the sun - is the colour of summer. Here zucchini flowers peep out from their leafy mounds, the new bed such a pleasure to spy from my bedroom window each morning, and enjoy whenever out at the clothesline. First zucchinis are just being picked.
