It’s that time of year again 🙂
Remember the No Bake Blueberry Flapjacks?  Well, I didn’t have any blueberries so I decided to improvise with something wild – the blackberries are ready!
So many blackberries and we only needed a few so we left plenty for others 🙂
And we saw plenty of others enjoying them.
I did sustain a nasty bramble injury – ouch!
But we got what we needed 😉

No-Bake Sugar-Free Apple and Blackberry Flapjacks
You’ll need:
4 small apples, peeled and chopped.
Washed, freshly-picked blackberries
Fresh dates, pitted and soaked for 1 hour.

They lived a few yards from the Batchwood, and when I visited, I went for a walk in the woods every day, and as I was always there when they ripened I had myself a feast. Best wishes and blessings, Charles. 🙂

Fortunately I have been a bit of a country bumpkin, and like foll as unaltered as possible, so am pleased to have moved to my new house, so that I can grow my own fruit and veg again, and not get it rapped in miles of terrible plastic. Best wishes and blessings, Charles.

I’m just trying to see where the best place is, as the garden has lots of trees, and much of it is too shady, but I’m sure I will get going soon. Charles.

In Scotland we always went out bramble/Blackberry gathering. I sometimes think we consumed as much as we gathered. Oh yes, many bleeding arms and legs but mum was always there to administer TLC and first aid.
