Blackberry collecting

The MiniMad's have been requested that we go berry picking for what seems like months now!!

As MadDad is off this week, we decided we would go and see if they were ready yet, both feeling that we were being a tad optimistic. The sun was shining and it was a glorious morning, so we decided to have breakfast and set off, in case the promised rain came sooner rather than later.
We are really lucky in that we live 15 mins for the sea, 2 mins from open fields and 5 mins from a woodland area. Blackberries thrive in the hedge's on most of the walks, so we packed a couple containers, some drinks and hats and off we went.

The mini's were very excited, as you can see from the expectation on MiniMads face.
We managed to gather a couple of tubs worth and the boys managed to polish off one of the containers on the 5 min walk home!!
