@kniphofia Sue, Thank you for all the photos you shared in this year's photo contest. You have some beautiful photos of flowers and gardens, but this photo in particular caught my attention. It took me back to the car park of a Premier Inn outside London where I found so many blackberries free for the picking. I carefully picked among the thorns and ate handful after handful. Here is Georgia USA, I grow thornless blackberries, but our wild blackberries are so small and thorny they are not worth picking. Thank you for bringing back this wonderful memory.

Thanks for your kind comment Lori, brambles are very common here in the UK, even now people go blackberry picking in autumn, to make jam, pies etc. I took the photo on a lunchtime walk on my office day in Morpeth Northumberland.
