Blackberries

Yesterday kayaking on the bit of the old River Lea between Tottenham and Waltham Forest, where usually only us paddlers go, there were masses of blackberries which we were eating as we sat in our boats. Because of the rain they were rather sodden - but that didn't affect the taste!

This morning I decided to risk the heavy showers that are forecast and went out on my bike. There were lots of blackberries on my route, particularly because in yesterday's rain there would have been few people picking them. They seemed dry and if I was wanting to bottle them I would have risked it - but I am planning to stew them instead.
