Hubby picking blackberries in Lower Rissington, England Photo by Chris Duffy
Someone commented on my last blog that I must like to travel a lot. I DO like to travel. I love seeing new places, especially if it’s somewhere that I’ve read a lot about but have never actually been there. It’s always kind of neat to see how what you imagine a place to be compares to the actual place itself. I was more than thrilled with England.
The picture above is my hubby picking blackberries on our other trip to jolly old England. I don’t know why I thought it was so incredulous that they actually had blackberries in England too. We discovered them on a walk we took our first evening staying at our lovely country Cotswold cottage. He LOVES blackberries so most mornings we took early morning trecks in the surrounding countryside and picked enough berries for our breakfast. What fun.

I love fresh blackberries, too. I think that they taste better if you pick them yourself, don’t you? I also love fresh blackberry cobbler. :goodjob:
The last two nights before my move I stayed with some of our best friends. I’ve been on the Atkins diet for about a year and a half so I haven’t had much fruit. On my last night they served a dessert of blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. What a treat! Blackberries are my favorite. Maybe because I remember picking them at my grandparents farm when I was just a wee one.

I haven’t been getting my xanga notices for your blogs, Chris. I wonder why?
