Food for Free

I just got this little book today and flicked through it. I don't
think I'll go off skipping to the woods to eat mushrooms, but it's
interesting to know you can add beech tree leaves to salad, make a
frittata from fresh hop shoots or make coffee from dandelion roots.

Awesome book.

A few pictures

Walked to across town today, or well around it. Walked through the
woods. Found a vango tent out there, similar to the ones we use at
scouts, with deckchairs and a washing line. Why on earth did they
sleep there amongst wandering junkies and drinking kids looking to
make fires, I don't know. Maybe they spent the night badger watching,
whoooo knows. Unless they were asleep or dead, I didn't see/hear
anyone.

The last shot is of the allotment covered in snow.

Morning Hike

I went for a hike around the snowy frozen fields and woods about a
mile away. Not much snow, and the snow that is here is frozen. Pain in
the backside for taking photos of wildlife as it crunches under your
boots.
