Sunny Sunday
Had a lovely day on Sunday, I went with boys to St Catherine's Hill near Winchester to do some blackberry picking, only to find all but the highest ones had been stripped bare, though we did get the few that were left over.

Last year we got to the higher blackberries by George getting on my shoulders for extra height, this year no chance, he would have broken my neck, and even Harry was a struggle. That's ...

This was followed up with a crawl around the local bars and pubs, it is great to see that Bath has retained traditional pubs with good ...
