Blackberry picking



The beautiful high English summer is upon us. I would not go so far as to call it hot, but it is still a long way from cold, which is good enough for us. Everything is ripe for harvesting and that includes blackberries. So this evening Maria and I went out to West Cambridge with our dear friend Anna Thompson and picked a big pail full without making so much as a dent in the bush. I won't say exactly where it is because it is the best blackberry patch I know of and it's our secret! Maria seemed to like the berries, as you can see from her pictures.
