We had bramble and apple crumble last weekend. :D One of the best things to come out of Scotland - brambleberries. <br /><br />From Africa I miss amatangulas. Tricky to make jam of, but delicious eaten right off the hedge.. as long as you remember to dodge the thorns!

In fact, the colours stick so well, Maggie is planning on using any left over for dyeing :)<br /><br />Guyana-Gyal - if ever you make it over to Scotland, try and time it for the end of August/early September and you can pick you very own :)<br /><br />Theanne - it's an annual tradition - something I've done since I was a kid and have done with my own kids every year since they were old enough :)<br /><br />Hope - Maggie's bramble ice cream at Christmas is when that really happens :)<br /><br />Mita - thank you for taking the time to comment, and welcome to my blog :)<br /><br />Pat - when we've been blogging for so many years (my 9th anniversary was last month), the seasons inevitably find their way into our tales :)<br />Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-15237776488063025632014-09-08T14:56:33.379+01:002014-09-08T14:56:33.379+01:00I do wonder what colour Meg's lips were.

I haven't lived in an area where wild berries grow for years so no longer enjoyed those delights...how fortunate you are that you do!
