Blackberry Picking

Well I am on day 3 I guess, of my new life in England. Today being Sunday, we went to church and met some people and chatted afterwards during the lunch we all ate together to celebrate the harvest. (This is something like what we might do around Halloween or Thanksgiving at church.) Then, since Tim starts his program tomorrow, he went to take a nap with the cat in the conservatory and I went with my mother-in-law to pick blackberries in Hatfield Forest. Also, there was a wood festival going on where we saw people making all sorts of things out of wood including chairs, tables, baskets, bowls etc. So we walked around and checked everything out and then headed off to find the blackberry bushes. We picked a couple of boxes full to take home and freeze some and eat the rest. These are wild blackberries just all over the forest where people come and pick them around this time of year and put them in pies, pastries and other yummy English puddings (desserts).
