Autumn Harvest

For those of us who try and stick to in-season foods, the salads of Summer are replaced by more warming, filling foods; root vegetables, squashes and cooked apples.

It is also the season for foraging - blackberries, mushrooms and nuts are all Autumnal staples.

_{I've also included a way to pick your fruit at a distance, and a little treat for the grown-ups.}

Blackberries came into season a few months ago here. It's kinda surreal to think of them as an autumn berry.

They're important for the winter survival of many small birds, providing both food and shelter.

I was at a local reserve last weekend, the place was stuffed with blackites (British for "blackberries"), but I refrained from grazing because the tit flocks were stuffing themselves as well.
