I'm glad that your mother is an Irish. I'm sure she was having fun harvesting this in the summer.

@epiffanie That's true, a big flock of birds here too, harvesting the berries in our backyard. And they are very happy when they are eating. They are noisy, tweeting.

Oh! that's great, Carol. I'm a fan of the TV series ALASKA THE LAST FRONTIER and when we picked up these wild berries I feel like I'm in Homer, Alaska...

Brambles.
You must get them a bit earlier than we do in our part of Scotland
We pick them.every year.
We make Bramble Jelly with them.
Great on toast with real butter.
I've pricked many a finger picking them.

Wow! So that's what it's called, Bramble. I really hate it when it pricks my finger. LOL ... I haven't made a jelly.

@JimBo452020 That's right, all jam and jelly in the shop are expensive. Oh! I see, do you often visit England?

Yes, they are very sweet like blueberries. But the briar plants is not friendly. The thorns can stab your finger while harvesting. The birds love these because it's a free food for them.
