Lucky you  :D ... all our berries etc are a week or two behind here in "Sunny Jersey" (the original Jersey, with the pretty cows). I've usually got several containers of blackberries frozen for the winter by now, the result of a couple of hours intensive picking in the "favourite spot", I've struggled this week to find a couple of pounds for some jam ...
