Blackberrying

How great is it in the country! I know I am still in the M25, and only moved this far out as I wanted to stay near the city, but today D and I went blackberrying on the common. Hoorah! A happy couple of hours picking and we got 5.5kg of the beauties. And we didn't even leave a dent in the number of berries there. We weren't the only ones out there, others seemed to be taking advantage of a brief break in the weather to grab them while they were hot. I'll be making a second foray into jam making tomorrow! D and I stole some redcurrants from an overgrown allotment a couple of months ago and I made some jam from them. It was really easy! I felt quite the country wife!!!!
