In the uk this year we have had a very dry hot summer with no real rain as such in my part of the country for months! until the other day when it chucked it down for 24hrs!
The very next day whilst out on one of my daily dog walks, i was met with this (the always very pleasing and welcoming) site of the first crop of blackberries of the year, guess what i will be doing tomorrow? yum yum!
