Brambling

Yes, we know, we're late posting again.

Well we do have other things to do, you know, 

apart from keeping you all amused.

Anyway, this week we went brambling.

We're pretty good at it and can usually clear all the blackberries

up to the heights of our noses, and the Madwoman picks the ones

we can't quite reach for us.

But this year there are hardly any to be found.

The few there are, are puny little things, barely worth the careful

and delicate manouevring necessary to avoid getting

prickly bits in our schnozzles.

So this is a picture of us being forlorn.

Looks like we'll just have to make do with raspberries and blueberries

off the Madwoman's allotment.

Nice, but not as much fun as self-service eat-all-you-can-pick

rambles through the brambles.
