From dirt to jam

Some photos of Tuesday's berry-picking expedition with the redoubtable Heather. It was predicted to rain, but we visited in a window between rainstorms, while collecting local Scottish varieties of blackberry-raspberry crosses- tayberries, loganberries and tummelberries. The jams by Heather are truly delicious- I doubt they'll last till winter at the rate of scones being gone through.

It was great fun, but a day later the penance from the scratches from the canes kicks in as they heal. Itchy as hell, but worth it.
