A blog mainly about researching, writing and
reading historical fiction, and anything else
that interests me. You can read my other
articles and novels on my website at www.CarlaNayland.org
Gabriele - the berries look sufficiently exotic that they might be poisonous, don't they? The fact they're untouched doesn't necessarily mean anything though, as there was a very heavy berry crop this year and there are still a lot of berries left for the birds. If I remember, I may go and look in a few weeks and see if anything has eaten the berries by then.
Bernita - yes, I keep thinking I ought to be able to put a name to them.
Alianore - a bright autumn day is a lovely sight, isn't it? How fortunate that trees discarding their waste products in the falling leaves should look so pretty :-)
I'm a scientist with an interest in history, particularly the history of Britain in the 5th-10th centuries AD (i.e. between the departure of Rome and the Norman invasion).
I write scientific journal articles, for which I get paid, and historical and fantasy fiction, for which I don't. I'm a keen hillwalker, though I live in the flatlands of East Anglia.
I'm a devotee of BBC Radio 4, the network that justifies the license fee all by itself.
Carla Nayland is a pen name.

No idea what the berries are, but they look pretty. :)
Maybe they're unhealthy in some way though, or the birds would have been at them, with so little berries left now.

They look vaguely familiar, but I wouldn't dare hazard a guess.
Gorgeous colours! No clue on what the berries are, I'm afraid.
