Pick berries, it´s good for the soul

So my husband and I went to pick some blackberries in a lava field.  It doesn´t take a lot of effort to go there.  You just drive to a lava field (in Reykjanesbæ, should take less than five minutes to get to the nearest lava field), park your car and then walk and look for the berries.  These berries are what make Icelandic sheeps so tasty.  The sheeps graze and eat these during the summer.  

We didn´t really have a particular idea about what to do with the berries.  When we came home, we tried to make a jam out of it.  But it failed since we didn´t put the stuff that makes it like jelly.  I believe the jam we made is still in the fridge.

And here is a photo of a blueberry.  If we would wait a few days, the black and blue berries would be in its full stage, all ripe and ready to be picked.

We spent hours doing this.  It was fun.  It was very relaxing.  It made me feel light and calm.  

So we will be doing this again next summer!
