Hi Oakwell,

You have probably just missed the sloe's http://www.sloe.biz/sloes/index.htm They tend to grow in hedgerows and are are medium sized purple frut ( They look a little like elongated blueberries)

They can be made to make sloe gin but also in addition to elderberries and blackberries they make a excellent wine or port.

You can probably still find some blackberries/ posssibly elderberries to make wine.

Good Luck,

Brett

 

Welcome to the Forum, good luck with your Sloe gin.
