Back in my English garden

We've been having some very nice weather lately - sunny and mid-eighties - hot enough for me! Tonight after dinner we spent some family time in the back garden, with Brad and the kids playing rugby, and all of us picking raspberries.

We have lots of new flowers since my last garden post, including lots of roses on a little arch.
Some of the raspberries have seen better days, but we still get a handful of good ones most days. Of course the best ones are out of reach unless maybe you get all suited up and trek through the prickers.
I think these are black currants. They smell like black currants. I tried one and it was okay. Black currants generally get treated with lots of sugar before anyone eats them.

I love fresh rasberries! Once while picking I ate more than I brought home and got a belly ache! LOL. I love the style of the home. No wonder you will miss England.
