I've just had the first figs off the tree in the garden - lush but smaller than normal. Meanwhile, the grapes seem oddly sparse but the raspberries are rampant. Anyone else finding this? Is it the weather?

The most curious thing..
My raspberries just boiled away in the heat (which was a shame because they had potential for once this year).

We've had a bumper crop of blueberries, white, red and black currants together with blackberries, which are fab.

Forgot to mention my small but tasty blueberries. I envy your soft fruit collection. When I had an allotment, I envied one of my neighbours who had created a fruit cage over teh whole of his full-size plot, except for space for a trampoline.

They're great in smoothies and with yoghurt etc..
But a bugger to pick :)

There's a fig tree growing in the grounds of a house in Worthing - the branches overhang the pavement and it seems to produce figs all year round as far as I can tell :)

Those could be little sacks of dog shit, try one.

My plums look nice and plumper than usual. Must be the warm weather.
