Mount Keen and the bonnie blooming heather

Just a view from Thursday's stress-clearing, blueberry-gathering walk. About half a kilo picked - but all at a very low level. It was hard work crawling around picking them! But so worth it. :-)
Beautiful view. Nice that you have wild blueberries available to pick. Quite a few farmers here are putting up net houses to grow blueberries in. They really upset the balance of nature. So much of the land that birds and small buck used to forage through is now unavailable to them.

How lovely. When we lived in the UK I loved going over the Pennines when the heather was flowering.

Our heather is just starting to bloom too…..yours is beautiful with that wild background. Wild blueberries must be back breaking work….bending down but uneven ground you probably can’t kneel on. In NZ they have blueberry farms….buy them in bulk!

Beautiful and quite a productive day.

Beautiful landscape. Are they wild blueberries? We are growing two bushes. They are easy to grow and produce lots.

@jb030958 Yes, and I have a great Ottolenghi recipe for a lemon cake with blueberries!

@happypat I love the whole experience of gathering to eating. Going to try a nearer hill today, where the bushes are waist height. Should be easier going! :-)

@shutterbug49 Yes, they're wild. Here, we call them blaeberries, but spellcheck keeps correcting me! Ha ha.
