I haven't been blackberrying for years. My Mum used to make the most amazing blackberry and apple jam, and my Good Lady used to make great apple and blackberry pies. When we lived in our first house we had a railway bank behind the house smothered in blackberry bushes where I'd go and pick them, and when I was a lad at home we were on the outskirts of Folkestone and there was an abandoned railway line a short distance from us and the whole family would go up there blackberrying.
