Just picked 2kg of blackberries while walking the dog and some of the apples are ready in the orchard. Can smell the apple and blackberry jam being made in the kitchen and it's making me hungry 😀

Been picking Blackberries for a while now. But are you finding they are not a patch on last year 🙁

Found a few apples today 🙂 So bonus fritters to come 🙂

Bilberries were ok, blackberries been quite good, still plenty left still to ripen. Apples piss poor, sloes and damsons rubbish round here. Got quite a few cobnuts too!

hmm toast or crumpets? 😀

RT: no where near as good as last year but we have a plentiful supply and they are nice and sweet. Apples are doing fine but then we are in cider country.

Didn't see any sloes today but I forgot to look - will check out the usual places tomorrow. Used to be a good spot along the Avon Gorge by the Portway railways station.

edit: and yes, still plenty of blackberries still to ripen. This year has just messed everything up.
