BLACKBERRY PICKING

Growing up in the Northern Irish countryside, from late summer it was always easy to find brambles covered in berries. I loved going blackberry picking with mum, dad and my two brothers.

Each of us would take a basket and race to fill it first, before heading home to make a delicious blackberry and apple crumble - all in time for Sunday lunch.

I created this candle with its notes of ripe blackberries and sandalwood to celebrate happy family days out at the end of summer.
