Similar abundance in Derbyshire, Mossdog.

I was only looking at a wonderful crop of hedgerow Rosehips yesterday and am just waiting for the first frost before I pick them for syrup.

I hope you are right about a harsh winter as I don't recall many cold, crisp and blue sky days in the hills over the last couple of years.
