brambling in ossett

We went 'oop north' to visit S's family for the weekend and lucked out with sunny weather, so we went in search of wild brambles (blackberries).


It was not the most auspicious start.

S's dad braved the thorns and nettles, and carefully cradled his first hard-won bramble.

But it got better soon.

And soon we had enough for bramble pie.

Actually, I stretch the truth a bit. This pie was from A&C's previous bramble picking expedition. C made bramble crumble from ours the next day. Can't have too many brambles, but it's possible to have too many nettles...


It was a lovely, relaxing weekend and we were very well-fed! Thanks, everyone xo
