This morning when out with the dogs and the 2 elderly relatives who are with us for the foreseeable and our grandson we picked brambles ( blackberries ) and baked some pies this afternoon both remember picking them every autumn along with sloes and crab apples in the late 40s / 50s even into the 70s
Crabapple jelly made and they and my sister are in charge of the sloe gin making
A simple cost us nothing afternoon which they and I can remember picking berries shared with another generation
