In between winter and summer

With blossom in full swing on our two cherry trees, it's time to check the freezer for fruit that I froze last summer (and then forgot about). I found cherries and mulberries, and gently simmered them together for dessert tonight, when we have an old friend coming round for dinner.  Meanwhile, fun with the Photosplit app :-)
Apart from that, Richard came across an article in The Atlantic that made a lot of sinister sense to us both, in terms of what the Trump regime is doing.  I'll put the link below. Non-subscribers can read a limited number of articles for free, so with luck the link will work.  It's a long read but a good one.  
I have a lot of time for The Atlantic now, given that it's one of their editors who was mistakenly included in the infamous 'Signal' chat group recently, and who  made it all public with considerable care. And without caving in to Trump's threats. Anyway, here's the link:
