Late Summer delight - # 206

Have people forgotten about the fun of collecting blackberries?

The weather is all wrong, but the berries are OK.

Instead of blue sky and steady weather we have, today, more heavy rain, battleship grey cloud, north wind and 18 degrees C.

But the blackberries are coming on well, and they are full and sweet thanks to enough rain and good sun some weeks ago. There are plenty of bramble patches around us, but relatively few pickers! Here is a free harvest that is healthy and delicious, but the "townies" seem to prefer to buy little plastic boxes of exotic fruit flown in from Bongoland far away.
