Seasonal adjustment

.
It's that time of year again.

Out with the children at the weekend to pick and fill our first tub (see Rogan's post for more info).

Have made a slight change to the header.

  2. how do you make a bramble crumble? Is it like a cobbler? or a crisp?

  3. Dr Maroon - the day ends in a Y, so it's to be expected. Still a bit pissed off about the Haemochromatosis, but other than that I'm not to bad thanks.

    Atilla - thank you :)

  4. I see Rogan has spotted the maggot problem, but I see no mention of the height above which brambles should be picked.I should say over 3 feet, perhaps slightly higher in the vicinity of great danes and motorway laybys.
    I can retire now knowing my public duty is seen to. Hope you don't have to go out and repick the entire crop.

  5. Sandy - don't worry, from the age of 3 Rogan was taught to avoid picking the ones too low down. And we never take them from the side of the road.

    Pat - we're fair weather bramble hunters, or at least not-raining bramble hunters

  8. Ah, the return of the brambling, bearded One! Almost ripe here but your's would be a little earlier being more northerly/easterly.
