Morning and #happy #Friday.

Today is the feast of Saint Michael, or #Michaelmas. My friends in Europe always wish me a happy name day but this is something (adds to a very long list) that we have lost in this country.

I think I like having 2 birthdays a year.

Don't forget to pick your blackberries today if you can, because the devil will be pissing on them after today.

Meanwhile, our local beech tree has begun to change into his autumnal wardrobe, at long last.

Enjoy your day out there.

According to English folklore, it was on this day that the Devil fell from Heaven, landed on a blackberry bush, and cursed the berries. Therefore, it is unlucky to pick Blackberries after Michaelmas.

"Michaelmas Day (Sep 29) was credited with uncanny power in Wales. There was an old superstition that on this night the Cistfaens, or warriors' graves, were illuminated by spectral lights, for the ghosts of ancient warmen were engaged in deadly fray."
