I had a few hours respite from caring for Mum and took the opportunity to
forage the local hedgerows, I came back with a bag full of wild plums, another of crab apples, and a large plastic bowl of blackberries, amazing the delights that are there for free. Soon there will be cobnuts and hazel nuts then chestnuts and if I wander into the woods i might find, chanterelles, morels,and penny bun, I always look for chicken in the woods but that always eludes me !

Sit down before a fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconcieved notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever abyss nature leads, or you shall learn nothing.

and round here all the fools picking Sloes from July onwards, instead of waiting until after the first frost. 
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.
