Memory 7

Down the lane I see
the blackberries are not yet ripe.
I used to gather hedgerow fruits
with my Dad, for him to make wine.

      We gathered elderberries, blackberries, sloes, damsons, rosehips, billberries – all sorts, as well as garden fruits. He made some good wines!

    and to think, last year I started picking blackberries in mid-July – earliest ever! this year – there’s a few ripe ones but not enough to gather – yet…
