The first sign of the end of summer is always the appearance of luscious blackberries. And so, whilst it feels like summer only started five minutes ago (seriously, what happened to June?!), the first photos of those fat berries on social media feeds is heralding the approach of autumn.
What better way to mark the change in seasons than by changing up your regular mug and replacing it with this one from Emma Bridgewater decorated with brambles?
And if you’re looking for something to do with your berry haul, this recipe for Blackberry and Apple Crumble Cake has been tested and tasted in this house and comes highly recommended. For maximum autumn feels, serve up a slice on the matching blackberry plate.
