Here in Australia they spray blackberries as they are an imported weed, but jeez I remember them as a kid. Scratched arms and legs and purple mouths ..
When I lived in Somerset we would go blackberry picking and the dog would gingerly pick off the blackberries with her teeth, copying us.
She was rubbish at making crumble though.
My dogs a bit shot at making crumble too. She makes a banging beef casserole though
One chunk of beef for me, one for the pot. One chunk of beef for me, one for the pot. One chunk of beef for me, one for the pot.
