Pit stop

Went to pick the blackberries, that I spotted yesterday, with the kids. We meandered down Newhall, picking blackberries, wading in the stream, picking (and eating) wild apples... then we took a detour down a walkway to a bit that was burnt down a while ago. The kids then set about an investigation which involves picking up and gathering lots of burnt wood and screws and bolts... and getting utterly filthy. Meanwhile, I sat on the non burnt walkway, took photos and did some work on my phone - interspersed by several conversations with passers by. It was past three by the time we got home for lunch!
