It's a family tradition of ours to go blackberry picking every September.
There's something really satisfying about foraging in the countryside for fresh, organic produce and it's free! We picks a few pounds worth and freeze them to make delicious apple and blackberry crumbles through the cold winter months ahead - mmm!
The hedgerows are rich with different fruits and berries at this time of year.
However, the weather has been very threatening these last few days although nothing like those poor soles suffering from hurricanes Harvey and Irma!
At least we didn't have to worry about the traffic...

This reminds me of picking blackberries from a briar in my great uncle's creek. We'd do it every summer, getting pricked by the brambles but gathering bushels of blackberries.
I just got back from Alaska and stopped by the side of the road to pick up a few pounds of wild blueberries, too. The berry-gathering bug has been in me a long time, it seems :)

Lucky you @halcyondaze - I love blueberries too but they aren't native to my country so we grow them in the garden.

I am working with the #promo-uk team and @stephenkendal to promote steemit on a UK tour around 22 universities during freshers week! As a promonent UK steemian, we would like to ask for your support and if you have time, even to come and join us for whatever time you can spare at your nearest university!
The tour started in Manchester today, does a trip around the country and ends up in Lancaster on 07th Oct.
THIS link will show you the tour route, meeting times and meet up locations.
THIS link shows you our success around Sheffield today!
It would be really great if you could make it to one of these promotional events to have some fun talking Steemit and letting people know how great it is!!
We are also presenting at the London investors fair on 20th October. We plan to get together with some steemians in a London bar after the event for some drinks (which we will put 150 GBP behind the bar for)
HERE is a summary of our last meetup
Please reply to this or contact me in steemit.chat if you are interested to take part or support our work!

Great idea @starkerz -but I'm kind of out of action - had a minor op on Tuesday and feeling rather sore - not sure how long until I'm back on my feet...
