Bramble scramble

One of the (many) things I love about living here is the bounty that nature gives us.

Now all the wild brambles are beginning (I say beginning because they're not all there yet) to ripen so this afternoon Herr L and I went scrambling about in the bramble bushes to bring home the berries. Yum.

All the scratches from those thorns were well worth it.

Plans are for a lovely apple and bramble crumble. Would have made it today but didn't have enough butter and, as no shops are open here on a Sunday, there was no chance of getting some.
Herr L was a wee bit disappointed; he does love a good crumble.
