It's time for our last #SummerSnaps for this year and we're finishing with this idyllic scene of a #Standard #LittleNine and a spot of #BlackberryPicking. 🍇 #Archive #Blackberries #Photograph
A black and white photograph of a Standard Little Nine, parked at the side of a road and partly concealed by a blackberry bush. Two women, using walking sticks to move the brambles, are picking blackberries from the bush next to the car.
