Yes and no. Females often have a second litter in August/September. Unfortunately these late babies often don’t survive the winter, as they don’t have time to get big and strong and put enough weight on to survive hibernation.

I also saw mating behaviour a week or so ago, I’m hoping the female sets up her nest in my garden or brings the babies to visit when they get bigger, so I can keep an eye on them and hopefully increase their chances of surviving winter.
