Blackberries and Apples

This year has been magnificent for fruit. We've had a bumper harvest of blackberries from brambles at the bottom of the garden. Walking through Hearsall Woods, though, I was amazed by the quantity of fruit available. 

It does seem that folks are uncomfortable with picking and eating wild fruit. There were two dessert apple trees. A couple walking their dog were surprised to see us collecting fruit - they'd always thought they must be crab apples. It's free fruit folks - and delicious - go harvest!!
