Loads of apples and blackberries, best year ever here in Norfolk.
But..weep...no sloes.
Own garden Laxton Fortune thousands on one tree. Plums fairly good Victoria but intermittent ripening.

We got 2lb of blackberries from a hedgerow the other week. They're in the freezer now, waiting for me to borrow the preserving pan from mum to make lots of yummy jam

Just got back on the bike from a forage, 2 bags of cooking apples (they falling off and picking off easy) will keep all winter. Thought it early, hope they keep.
Also some loverly blackberries, the small tight sort, not so sweet as others.
ALSO some corn fell off a lorry, a pile of it on the verge, didn't have a spare bag so gonna go back.
