I got some funny looks as I was picking this evening. It's commonplace, where I come from, to pick blackberries. Maybe less so up North?

GagaJo I get funny looks whenever I’m picking one lady stopped to ask me what I was doing, she didn’t have a clue about picking Blackberrys locally.

Our back garden is overrun with blackberries and they are ripe now, and loads of them . Am going to make bramble jelly. And mix with the Bramley windfalls from daughter's garden.
Never seen so many.
