No, it's good harvesting weather.
For the past three weeks or so, the combined harvester and threshing
machines of Aberdeenshire have been busily gathering in the barley (and
still are) so that the softy southerners will have something to drink
for the coming year.

After the summer comes the harvest. After the harvest comes the autumn
and the leaves fall from the trees. After the autumn comes the finest
Scotch whisky to keep you warm until spring when the barley starts to
grow again.

Reminds me - need to buy some more barley flour for the baking season.

The "baking season", never heard that term before. Now half-baked and you're talking.
