| Hawthorn berries |
I live within fifteen minutes walk of hedgerow country. Whenever I feel the need to hunt & gather, all I need to do is pick up my pail and meander into the country side. That's what I did yesterday! I felt the strong urge to get out and about, and since the crabapples are ready to harvest I decided to pick a peck of them to make crabapple pickles. I had a simply wonderful time, and took lots of photos as I walked along, so you can walk next to me virtually and enjoy a warm sunny autumn afternoon ....

| Crabapples, now pickled in glass jars awaiting their fate as Christmas presents |
 |
| Rosehips, there were loads of them - great for jam! |
 |
| Blackberries had a bumper year as well |
 |
| Hawthorn - beautiful but taste insipid |
 |
| Sloes - sloe gin anyone? |
 |
| Old fashioned turnstyle - keeps out the cows! |
