Time out foraging amongst the hedgerows

Yesterday afternoon Katherine and I went for a walk to Ocean View Beach, and then came back and picked a bowl of blackberries from the bushes along the banks of the creek. Somehow the fattest and juiciest berries are always just out of reach!

Spring has arrived here in Brighton. We spent the afternoon yesterday glazing a load of bisqued stoneware out in the sunshine:
