Visitors.....

Here's a picture of one of the regular visitors to the hay meadow behind our cabin!

Fungi & foraging........

It seems that foraging in the forest for fungi is a fun thing to do!

Well it is if you know what you are looking at.
There is an unbelievable array & quantity of fungi (svamp in Swedish) to be found all around the forest floor at this time of year.
At the moment neither Sarah nor I are confident enough to identify & pick edible 'shrooms from the forest but we had no trouble identifying another abundant autumn wild harvest, the lingon berry. These we picked, with our "Dollar Store" berry comb, & brought home to Derbyshire for we have a noble purpose for these fruits. Lingon Vodka, we'll report further when it is finshed & we have drunk some.........!
