We had some scoped out but seem to have not really come to much. My Grandma and uncle used to make some amazing sloe gin and me and my mum were going to try and recreate the beautiful, cough syrupy goodness.

Probably means someone has got there first. Blackthorn is very common in the hedges around here in Berkshire, and across the south east. I look for the easily recognised leaves. Otherwise you can just buy the fruit off ebay if needs.

My grandma and uncle living in Shinfield and Arborfield probably helped.
