Oh that’s lovely, thank you!
I used to love harvest time when I was teaching and the children would learn all sorts of lovely harvest songs. I found myself singing one the other day as I picked blackberries near my house! Thank goodness there was only my dog nearby!

  It reminds me of my childhood! It was often on the wireless all those years ago in the 50s!

    Inch by inch, row by row, Please, bless these seeds I sow…

  Yes they are indeed. Sadly summer is a distant memory here as it is getting much cooler and it never seems to stop RAINING ☔️

  Oh thanks Susan!
  I remembered the song from my childhood and while I was in my friends garden it just kept going round in my head- so I had to find/buy/ post it with my photos. Hence the VERY late night!
