This has less to do with my father Eric Morecambe and more to do with my 2 children who used to enjoy picking wild berries with me at the height of the season. It amazes me how long it takes to fill a basket with enough berries to make jam and yet our supermarket shelves are overflowing with various berry fruits. Even so there is nothing more satisfying than picking your own jam and even more special when you do it with two young children. I’m very lucky that they were as enthusiastic about the trip as I was! Now they’ve grown up I doubt they would enjoy it as much as they did as kids? But that’s what grandchildren are for right?
