It looks like we might be in for a bumper crop of blackberries later this year. When out walking I have seen bushes laden with blossoms and green budding fruit.

While waiting in anticipation for the blackberries, I am making the most of other, earlier ripening berries. Raspberries are ruby red, plump and ripe at the moment, and are most delicious in these warmer weeks of the summer.
