Blackberry Badge of Honour!!

[chunkychambers]

How many of us Brave Souls are carrying the Blackberry Badge of Honour, or BBBOH, on our arms and legs!!??

We know what it's like don't we?? The biggest and juiciest ones are always at the back, but do we give up? Oh no not the WABs!!
With stiff upper lip, sturdy jaw, and cold stare, we stiffen our sinews and with a cry of "Harry, England and St George" we stride into that bramble bush and pick those kings of the blackberry world!!

And it's with love, and yes a little pride, that we present that bounty to our loved ones and wear the BBBOH without embarrasment or predjudice and shout aloud "YES, I WAS THERE, I WAS THAT MAN"

As you can probably guess I've been Blackberrying today and I'm covered in scratches and blood!!

**roflmao* You're not one of Terry Wogan's regular contributers by any chance are you?

TIP: Go blackberrying on horseback, then you can pick them from above

Good idea Gaina, but what if you fall off your horse into the brambles while picking blackberrys?? You get hurt twice!!

Mind.... you would qualify for the HBBBBOH..........Horsey Brigades Blackberry Badge Of Honour and you would be a worthy reciepiant. RESPECT!!
