Quality music.

I think I’m going to have to call out a plumber and get my pipes cleaned…

Foraging doesn’t have to be like people are thinking. It’s not all about “weeds” and mushrooms.
At the right time of the year the hedgerows are alive with something nice. I’ve introduced cadets to simple things like blackberries, sweet chestnuts, field mushrooms and various fruit trees, that have found there way into the hedges and fields. I liked winding up a woman who spent a fortune on blackberries from the supermarket, I pick them from bushes around the village and take them to work for a munch with the bonus they are free and there are plenty for pies and crumbles.
If the average member of staff can’t do this level of foraging I’d be surprised.

Where I live, the hedgerows are more likely to contain discarded pornography than something tasty to eat…

Does that still happen? I thought the Internet had killed off porn mags :man_shrugging:

I agree with @daws1159 I thought the internet had killed that market. I’ve not seen a discarded stash of “photograph magazines” in hedges since I was a teenager.

Seems a bit contradictory.

When people think of foraging and mushrooms, people envisage walking through woods and being told what they can and can’t eat. I only ever go for the white top/‘black’ gilled ones I recognise that dad showed me when I was a little kid. So while you may think it’s contradictory, not really, just an example of what I’m prepared say’s ok.
