Green and country in the city 16 July

• Sunday evening found two tiny frogs in garden - and have seen several around the garden since, as well as the full-grown frogs.
• It rained hard Tuesday evening which was welcome on the garden. The rain on me walking back from Stowtellers (story-telling club) not so welcome as my pac-a-mac turns out not to be waterproof.
• Less insects in the garden around at the beginning of the week though they have picked up again now.
• Picked some large juicy blackberries yesterday and made a crumble.
• Klaus, a German friend, was saying it was drummed into him as a child to keep away from an unafraid fox, as that lack of fear a symptom of rabies. So he is really spooked by all the tame foxes in London!
