Summer bumps into Autumn

The sudden early harvest is easily explained:
While we were away, it rained and rained.
If I'd been at home, you'd have heard me grumble,
As it is - I say, Hooray for blackberry crumble! *

*with apple and custard

Yes, on the 'Glorious Twelfth' I bagged some blackberries - not until this evening when the sun finally broke through. Folded clean tissues from my jacket pocket into a makeshift bag using an origami technique that I learned when I was about eight from The Brownie, a magazine that probably no longer exists. The makings of tomorrow's pudding are now washed and waiting in the fridge. Meanwhile, today's sweet was strawberries and cream, hence summer's bumping into autumn!
