Optimistic
Some blackberries/brambles are still flowering for the third time; this one has set fruit but very little prospect of them ripening! I awoke to the lightest dusting of snow and a hoar frost on a misty morning. I headed to the North Downs Way in Chantry Wood but there wasn’t enough snow on the track or the trees. I walked to the River Wey and came back via Racks Close, an old chalk quarry almost opposite our house.
