When my folks ran a golf club, my mum used to mix margarine into the butter to make it go further in sandwiches
What are you having for breakfast?

It's Blackberry season.
Lots of benefits including being very good for Type 2 diabetes and controlling your blood sugar levels.
Blackberries are one of the best fruits for type 2 diabetes. One cup contains 62 calories, 13.8 grams of carbohydrates, and 7.6 grams of fiber. Thanks to the high fiber content, blackberries will cause less of a blood sugar spike than some other fruits.
And they are free, the exercise will also benefit you.

They're one of my favourite fruits: packed full of good things. You must've found an early batch; or did you get 'em from a supermarket?
I should check on my brambles to see how they're getting on...

Nice.
Best time o' the day to find 'em, too. I usually don't see them til August but maybe a few earlies have popped up. I'll take the long way round the lane today to see what's what.
I forgot, you’re North of here. Our blackberry season is now over in the sunny south. It’s grape and banana harvesting time down here.

I've been down your way and it's bloody hot.

My B.berries are still green n' growing. Another month and they'll blush with juice. Usually they're ready around the end of August, right through to Samhain in a good year. At that rate of ripeness from south to north the scots should have theirs by Christmas.
and tons of them to be had here, fighting them off, trying to prevent sneaking over my back garden fence. I hate them..

I love the mornings. Can be tough getting up at ½4 5⁰/c but it sets me up for a better day.
I went Gym.this morning so had to rely on my garden Raspberries & Blackberries. They are not as fuel free as the meadow picked berry's.
Cultivated blackberries are the best. One of my allotment neighbours grows mainly fruit - blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, gooseberries etc. she makes jars and jars of jam which they sell in our allotment trading hut. All the proceeds from her jam go to a charity that helped care for her grandson who died very young. The blackberries she grows are massive and because they are cultivated blackberries, they have no thorns on them - absolutely packed full of flavour too.
I've just come in from throwing crust crumbs out for the Daws and picked a few raspberries along the way: dew fresh berries - very moreish.
Cultivated b.berries are good but i like them wild and the challenge of reaching the ripe one right at the back: thorns be damned!
