I like the whole ritual of getting my basket ready, going out for a walk in search of blackberries, elderberries, nuts and haws and of course making things with them on my return. Today we have such a day planned. Last week we found some berries but I am hoping for better looking berries this week.<br />We are so blessed to live in a country with such beautiful and bountiful countryside. I love your photos, especially of the one with the dark sky and the stunning countryside below it. I find that dark skies make all the colours in nature look that much more striking. Yesterday, my camera was out capturing the dark skies around us. <br />Have fun eating making things with your berries!<br />Isabelle xSuzy's Vintage Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355297827117557882noreply@blogger.com
