Now the weather has begun to cool, autumn is soon around the corner and blackberries are appearing along hedgerows in cities and the countryside alike. Blackberries are some of the easiest (and most delicious) things that can be gathered on walks out in nature.

Autumn Blackberries are wonderfully unfussy in their growing habits and come September, they appear to burst from every kind of landscape. When our hands were small and our mouths greedy there always seemed to be a wealth of places to go blackberrying – the lanes around grandparents’ houses, parks, fields, gardens – though I quickly learnt that not all berries were equal. From one patch they might be ripe and sweet but from another, hard and terribly sour.

'Gathering Days: A collection of things foraged and found' by Ellie Evelyn Orrell is out now! 🌿 Along the seasons of a year, 'Gathering Days' recalls the ways in which the act of collecting might offer a sense of purpose in times of uncertainty. Find your copy in your favourite local bookshop 📚️

Book cover which features line drawings of a daffodil, grapes, leaves, a kettle, and a bottle. Text reads: Out Now!I follow the patterns in ever-widening circles. Gathering dust in the heat of summer. Rainwater in all seasons. Occasional snow, glimpsed in the kernel of a persimmon seed. Bramble, acorn, hawthorn and cherry. Tracing the lines of a landscape and the patterns of a year. Towards a greater appreciation of what was there all along. Along the seasons of a year, Gathering Days recalls the ways in which the act of collecting might offer a sense of purpose in times of uncertainty. Walks across the fields and coasts of Wales bring encounters with stories from elsewhere – a quiet garden in Kyoto or a lamplit street in Seville. Woven together, these contemplations of land, self and place form a memoir that celebrates the small yet miraculous moments of everyday life, while asking the question of how we might steady ourselves against a landscape.
