It’s that time of year ……….
…… when we find ourselves surrounded by free, super vitamin C on tap in blackberry form ………
….. so it goes without saying that Nigel has been assigned the task of collecting enough of said fruits for puddings and snacks over the next few weeks.
Yesterday, he took his beloved niece and nephew with him, which proved to be slightly problematic as the little scamps ate them faster than poor Nigel could pick them ……..
……. but then again, isn’t that part of the joy of blackberrying?
Uncle Nigel just had to pick a bit quicker!
Despite this, they still managed to bring home a very respectable pound or so of the glistening ripe fruit ……. with still enough room left to share in one of Darrell’s triumphant strawberry and blackberry Pavlova’s. It was too wonderful for words!

Great. This brings back childhood memories, too, although my mother would have made jam, plus a crumble.
"Darrell’s triumphant strawberry and blackberry Pavlova’s." A strawberry and blackberry pullover? :)
It was always apple and blackberry pie in our house. My father loved going out blackberry picking and every time I see the rich black berries in the hedges, it brings back such happy memories. Enjoy! JantheFan x
