Stopped and helped the motorist out - checked the car (big dents, but serviceable) and moved the dead deer into the hedge. returned an hour later with car and trailer. yum! blackberries are always a winner as well! I have a mind to spring a nettle soup on the family without telling them what it is. Never tried it before, but with all the new growth, i assume now is the time to pick? |

We went for a quick forage today, but only came back with the standard dandelions and nettles, im not quite brave enough or knowledgeable enough to go for anything else! We did do a bit of plant, flower and tree identification. I know its a bit early on in the year for most goodies, but there must be something more around! |
