  1. Blackberry Picking

    Share Share Post
    In summer all fruits grow.
    All through the country looks beautiful with all the ripe fruit. Black berries in the Autumn.
    Children delight in picking the berries particularly when it is a school day and the have not to go to school.
    They all start off with their vessels in which to hold the berries. Some are in the middle of thorns and the go in through the thorns to get the big ripe juicy ones.
    At dusk pickers go home delighted after the good work the have done. In some days after jam is made out of the fruit.
