Yum! Yum!

This morning we went blackberry picking along the hedgerows of the lanes nearby. We had to reach high for where the ripe ones were, but we came back with a kilo of fruit!

Here are the hands to prove it.


With this bag of blackberries we made - 19 muffins ...

2 blackberry and apple crumbles (one cooked and ready for the freezer, the other awaiting tea-time) ...



and also enjoyed a very refreshing smoothie which was in no small part blackberry! All I had to buy was 2 cooking apples for the crumbles, everything else I already had. Hurray for free food and a day's activities all rolled into one!
