Picking Blackberries


I've got this dream. One day I want to own my own house with a small garden. Nothing too fancy, but in the garden there will be some fruit canes (raspberries definitely), fresh herbs, a big table for entertaining, a BBQ and a wood fired oven. It will be a wonderful place to relax with a book, glass of wine, great food and be a great venue to have friends round on a summer's evening.

Yesterday on the first night of my holiday I helped my dad pick some blackberries from the garden. It was a little part of the dream....

  7. I have a similar dream too! And if I didn't live in bloody expensive Sydney I might be able to afford a house with a productive garden in a decent suburb close to the city! :)

    I'm definitely having a mulberry tree. I had one as a kid and I had a ball of a time!
