The Great British Blackberry picking!

 This morning the kids decided that they wanted to go blackberry picking as there are lots growing where we live at the moment, and my daughter really wanted me to make a blackberry crumble! My niece and nephew were visiting for the day too so I thought it would be a lovely activity to fill the morning! (I refuse to pay for blackberries when they are so readily available for free in our area )!!!  

 Even though it was raining we donned our raincoats and headed out! Living in Wales, we live by the motto that 'there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes!' 

 The kids had a fantastic time spotting the blackberries, picking them and filling their plastic cups up. We popped into my sisters home on the way back as we were soaked through, and she made us some very welcome hot chocolate! 

 We made a crumble afterwards with some of the blackberries and it tasted lovely. I always think kids eat so much better when they are involved in their food in some-way. Lovely way to spend a morning!
