It has been really lovely having LiveWires here over the last ten days and especially having a writer and then a photographer ready to take over the blog. Thank you to them and to all you dear readers who took the time to write such friendly and confidence boosting comments for the youngsters.
On one of their walks up and around the Great Flat Lode, a few pounds of delicious blackberries were picked. Some went into a Blackberry and Apple Crumble, some into the freezer and some into four little pots of Blackberry and Apple Jam, one of which will go home to Barcelona at the end of the week. 
Our beautiful golden roses, the bush given to us seven years ago for our Golden Wedding, were weighed down by the overnight rain so I brought them in to be able to enjoy them to the full.

Hi Sally, I bet its Bern amazing having all of your children, and grandchildren with you.
I hope they all got home safely.
Here in the North East and Yorkshire, we call blackberries, brambles. We go bramble picking 👍😍
Take care Love Judith xxx

It has been really lovely. They all overlapped at some time with D from Barcelona. He arrived home safely early this evening after three days driving so I feel I can relax again now and hope to sleep well tonight.
We used to call them brambles when I lived in South Yorkshire. I had forgotten that until you reminded me. Thank you. All the best to you, xxx
