(photos here) What a delightful surprise I had this week, when walking down the lane to our Believe Barn, as I discovered that the patch of beautiful blackberries that I’d been eyeing up for weeks, had at last ripened enough to easily come away in my fingers to be popped into my mouth and deliciously devoured. I’m sure that they tasted so much better, just from the fact that I’m pinching them from the hedgerow in the warm autumn sunshine where they were growing wild and seemed to have been inviting me to eat them. Those kinds of moments, with fingers all stained perfectly purple, instantly transport me back to times in my childhood when I’d done the exact same thing. The wonder in our natural harvests, made me just stop for a moment and count my blessings as I savoured the sweetness on my tongue and paid homage to all the gatherers that have gone before me, stretching far back in time…  

Magical Blessings, Be
