Where the wild things are - the first blackberries

C and I went blackberry hunting this morning.  It has been a hot summer and not enough rain, so there were only a few little black fruit, not the large jet like bulbous fruit you sometimes find.

Enough for a blackberry and apple crumble with some of the wind fall apples from the garden though.  I'll try and find a recipe, and add it to the blog.
