Ah, the weekend at last!
It has begun to feel misty and Autumnal here Down the Lane so today I am going to hit the hedgerows!
the hedges are dripping with them at the moment

I love the alchemy that takes place when you begin to warm a pan of blackberries.
Wonderful warm jam escapes from the berries and the colour is dark damson not to mention the autumn smell that envelopes your kitchen.
