Picking berries in Harold last year

Can't believe it has taken me five months to post these images up. We have already finished quite a lot of the sloe gin that was prepared from the berries picked in September and that sky has such an Autumn feel about it.

The job takes quite a bit of concentration...

The sunglasses may be due to optimism or could be to prevent thorn damage.

I remember doing this kind of thing as a kid around the lanes of Chandlers Cross, Sarratt and the like, mostly gathering elderberries and blackberries so my parents could make their wine. I never did try any of it!

Well you certainly missed out, sloe gin with blackberries is quite a winter warmer.
