There is a tiny patch of blue out there anid all the low cloud, but it is very tiny. I made a peach crisp last night to have with my leftover toad in the hole and added a few fat blackberries I had forgotten I had in the freezer, boy it was yummy. Enough for tonight too, if it survives that long. The blackberries were an extravagance last summer, I got a bit carried away when I saw them because they remind me so much of childhood foraging trips when my Mum would hand us each a billy can and tell Dad to take us out in the car to the country roads to fill them up with fruit. She just wanted a day off I think, but those days are burned into my memory banks. We'd come home sun burnt, dusty and scratched up but then we'd feast on apple and blackberry pie while she washed the rest ready to make jam...
They go well with peaches too!
