sky looks similar to that in your photo

That must be very demoralising when the summer looks like that! At least, I am speaking from a perspective where this is exactly the opposite of summer. Our summers can get up to 40C.

purple gooseberries

Oh my, I did not know they come in this variety! I will need to see if I can find them here. The cape gooseberries (yellow) have made themselves "wild" in my garden, so sometimes I see them as weeds because they grow everywhere, and never give me fruits (because the birds and squirrels steal them if they grow in the main garden). Thank you so much for sharing this neat detail!
