I think it’s very early too I suppose all the sunny weather earlier in the year helped.

We still have some from last year’s bounty. Perhaps some compote to freeze might be a better idea this year.
Surely it is rather early?

It is a good year.
I always associate blackberry picking with September, slightly misty mornings and my friends and I used to go after the children had gone back to school after the summer break.
My D picked lots last weekend and is experimenting with blackberry gin.
