We found this lane not more than 2 miles from the house. The nearest habitation is Trelucky Farm so to us it is now known as Treluckey Lane seems to make sense. So armed with kilo size boxes we set to picking the fruit gathering scratches from the briars as we went.
Picking carefully trying not to fall as we stretched for the high ones which of course are the juiciest of all.
There are always huge clusters around field gates.
Just a few more then home to make the preserve.
We were pleased with the haul especially as now they would be waterlogged and so would we be if we were out there today. A good job done!

very cool.
Oh, that sounds very good. I do like anything slathered in home made jam, especially scones with double cream. I wish I could lay my hands on some of those.
This looks a lot like around our place here. But our blackberries are mostly gone now. I still find the odd one that's still OK to eat. But mostly they've now been fodder for the insects and whatever else eats blackberries around here. I know our dog Honey does! :)
I never collected enough this year to make jam from it. But enough to mix into a nice yoghurt. Yum!
Oohh I'm jealous, our blackberries have finished. We had loads of blackberry and apple crumbles. Irenes cream scone sounds adorable too. I can't wait to have fresh cream again. Debs x
feeling wintery here too, especially inside this old house! squash refuses to ripen and it doesn't have long to make up its mind.
Yum! Yum! ( And YUM again!)
Oh my gosh, they look yummy! I love blackberry ANYTHING! Hope you didn't get "too" scratched up - I can remember doing the same when the girls were little and we'd go with ice-cream buckets, gardening gloves, and long sleeves. But inevitably, someone would fall in and there would be lots of crying soothed later on by the blackberry pie still warm from the oven topped with vanilla ice-cream. Oh, I'm getting hungry! lol
free stock pics ; hi!
irene: yes a dollop of clotted cream would turn a scone into a calorific nightmare!
babaloo: This year they were easy picking we don't gather them every year.
lehners in france:Mmmm!
benjibopper:squash doesn't grow successfully here so it is off to the farm shop.
jan: yum and hi!
the pedalogue: some scatches but worth it when the jam is made it just tastes so good.
