For the past week or so I have been trekking back and forth Coventry in search of a new home. My 11-month contract has finished and I need to find my first post-university accommodation. It has been a bit disheartening to see the unimpressed looks on landlords' faces as they learned I do not have a job at the moment. I understand their viewpoint completely. Their skepticism is a bit hurtful though.
I trekked to nearly all the booked houses, because... I love walking. Simple as that. The fresh air calms my mind. I like being surrounded by greenery and birdsong.
The other day, on my way to Earlsdon, I noticed a beautiful, succulent blackberry hanging in front of me over a fence. After inspecting it for flaws I looked beyond the plant to find many, many blackberry shrubs colonising the unkept land! From all that chaos burst beautiful ripe blackberries.
I returned with my camera.

| Some still need time. |
 |
| Others need care. |
 |
| Who would have thought to look for berries here? |
 |
| Can you spot them? |
 |
| Sneaky... |
 |
| ... but protected by thorns. |

A beauty... with a friend! I wish I had noticed the insect on the leaf at the time.
They would have made a lovely picture.

Who would have known Coventry was Berrytown? And why is nobody eating them? I know I'm coming for seconds.
