Blackcurrants

I picked mine last week :) was a fight between me getting them and the local blackbird managing to scoff the ruddy lot!
Grapes are next getting ready to ripen at my house
 
Mmm, those look delicious. I do rather miss blackcurrants, which don't seem to be available here (not sure if they even grow here in fact). Mrs A has never had any and wants to know what they taste like, but I can't really think of anything to compare them to! The closest she has tried is a sort of sickly redcurrant syrup (which might not even contain real redcurrants), which is occasionally available here as a kind of squash to mix with water.
 
Ah I love blackcurrants. Quite a haul there - a crumble sounds delicious.
 
@Roz My parrots do not like them, they are going into a crumble today with raspberries added.
 
I missed mine and the gooseberries as Mr & Mrs Blackbird had hungry youngsters to feed. Oh well next year? :)
