We still managed to pick so many blackberries already and now the last ones are plump and juicy but lacking the flavour which suits me fine! Crumbles galore here at the moment.<br />There's loads of elderberries here and I have to admit (don't laugh at me) but I am scared of making jelly or chutney.
