An Apple-Picking Heatwave, and Other Stories, London and Brome, Suffolk - 2nd October 2011
This set starts off with part of the ongoing attempt to document the ever-changing face of urban decay that is the trackside, near Liverpool Street Station, whilst on the way to work. There's also a favourite in confusing language on a train safety sign, about how in an emergency to leave a carriage on the other side away from other railway lines, with no hint on how long you should go around in circles before just bailing out. Then, Philly and Davida come to visit on what turns out to be a record-breaking weekend, which gets to nearly 30° for an October day. There's a fine misty morning before the heat turns on, whereupon Isobel decides that it's paella time - a suitable posse arrive and help out with the annual apple picking harvest, before it's time to eat.
