Mirabelle

The tree is a Mirabelle Plum Tree.  The plums are small, yellow and sweet and not a fruit I ever saw in the UK.

My mood is a very fickle thing at the moment - I think it's down to rubbish sleep, I was awake for hours in the middle of the dark night and then the morning rounds of cats - not something to soothe my pretty much permanently furrowed brow.

Not even a walk this afteroon could lift the dark cloud that I have around my head.  Maybe though, someone here can answer my question - why do people go for walks in the country just to stare and or shout into their mobile phones?  I must have missed something.
