Brambling on Sunday . . .

. . . Jam on Monday!  We've gone early this year.  But it seems the blackberries have too!  So in between showers on Sunday, we hot footed it up the hill to our favourite bramble patch and within 30 minutes had collected about 5lb of blackberries.  A fortuitous visit from my parents brought with them cooking apples, so my favourite jam was made.  We've got enough for the year this time - 14 jars, last year was a disaster and we ran out in May!!
