Hawthorn berries

Not yet quite the Solstice, and already the berries which have been forming on the hawthorn are starting to colour. When J came home it was barely spring, and already it's midsummer. We are still here, and despite some ups and downs, many smaller anxieties and endless things to try to chase up and nudge into happening, the overall picture seems reasonably stable and has gradually started to feel rather more settled. 

A glorious, sunny and warm day in which some jobs were done, some useful things happened, and I enjoyed a quiet salad lunch on the patio while M was with J.
