Any botanists our there?

Having a lovely walk at Lochmariaquer, Brittany. Saw loads of these blue berries but I don’t know what they are. Are they safe to eat? SWMBO isn’t prepared to be a guinea pig.
Seriously, this is a lovely part of France. Even Chris might be converted.

Could they be 'blue berries'

Thanks. The boss thought they might be sloes. Only likes tonic, ice and a slice of lemon or, at a pinch, lime with her G&Ts.

Sloes. Pick now and freeze to break the skin and possibly enhance the flavour or wait until the first frost and then pick to add to gin.
