Later summer

The nights are getting longer, days shorter, new places of learning approaching for Ezra and full time employment for Mark. Big changes, but the fruits of the season are reassuringly in place: although later than last year, due to non-appearance of sun for months. I think the large yellow peaches pictured below must be the same genre that my mum used to buy as a special treat (tinned) back in the 70s - all uniform yellow-orange and steeped in teeth-shattering syrup.
