Foraged fruits...

FREE From the hedgerow

There surely is nothing better than making something for your store cupboard, from free fruits that you have foraged from the hedgerows...

Well, this is exactly what I did. There is not a walk that goes by, without me collecting something on the way. It may be a feather, or a few sweet chestnuts, squirreled away in my pockets for toasting later or a mere leaf whose colours have caught my eye, but never do I return empty handed. My walks with my cocker spaniel, Monty, take me to many different environments, which enable me to forage for completely different finds. Be it Silver Birch bark for fire-lighting, cones for creature creations or fruits for making into something delicious, I am always on the look out for exciting new treasure.
