Bilberries/Wortleberries/Whinberries
Had a good feast of these from bushes on top of the Mendips yesterday.
There's an area on Blackdown where, in the war, mock streets and
mounds of earth to imitate buildings were set up, with lights, to try
to detract the bombers from Bristol. It didn't work, but the mounds
of earth, like Hobbit houses, are a good home for these plants.
Fruits tasty but less than half the size of my blueberries.
