Last of the summer wine

Yesterday saw the second and last picking of blackberries this season. The first, I think in August some time, was OK but the berries were small and did not come of the stalk very easily. Slow picking. Then forgot about them until yesterday afternoon when they were pretty much finished.

More or less nothing left on the western side of Horton Lane, some left of the eastern side. Small but ripe and I was able to get a couple of trays worth in under an hour. Baking trays being the way we freeze the things before bagging them up into portions for use during the winter.
