With a drop of rain to make the berries swell and some sun to ripen them, the bramble bushes are offering up their harvest. Make sure you pick yours before October when the Devil spits on the fruit and turns it sour.
It was on September 29th, St Michael's Day or Michaelmas, that the Archangel Michael defeated Lucifer who fell from Heaven and landed on a thorny bramble bush in Hell. Now, as the Devil, he was so cross that he spat on the fruit.
Apparently he does it every year so get and pick your blackberries as soon as they are ripe.
