woodland walk






A slightly damp Sunday morning walk. Brightening skies and a mild air tempted us to some welcome time outdoors. Much needed after the wet, dreary days last week.

We stayed local, visiting a native woodland close to where we live. We squelched through the muddy, leaf littered lanes. Played in the woodland. Followed deer hoof prints. Admired fungi and lichen. Found wood sorrel and gathered sticks. 

A morning well spent.

As an aside, thank you for your comments on my last post. It seems I am not alone in my nervousness of eating foraged fungi. A foraging course may be added to my bucket list.

  4. It's nice to stay near home, isn't it? Good idea for the bucket list, too - I'd add it to mine if I ever started one.
    Now you've got me thinking...

  7. I think that course sounds like the right idea - or just try to borrow Alys Fowler! x

  8. The woods are wonderful at this time of year aren't they. It sounds like a morning well spent. There are masses of mushrooms that I see every day in a particular spot, I'd love to know whether they're edible, but like you I'd need an expert to tell me. CJ xx

  10. We were looking up the fungi we found on Sunday and were just saying how knowledgeable you would need to be to eat anything - they all look the same! x
