    The great thing about canoes is that you can harvest the crop that the ramblers can't reach.

    Sorry about the awful photo - my camera broke so this was taken with my phone. Had I spent more time I could've had buckets full of the things. (From the Exeter canal if you're interested.)

    Brambles are funny old plants. All through the winter, spring n summer its a pain in the arse plant, ever creeping where you don't want it and trying to trip you up or entangle you in its grip.
    Then come autumn is suddenly our best friend.

    Not a great year for them down here, but not a bad one either.. I have spotted some good sloes about, but we had to cut down our best blackthorn :0(
