Day two of Tom's trips is always the hardest, and I am so grateful for the wonderful friends I have and their children. Destination decided, we headed out after our morning workbooks, to forage, picnic and play. Surrounded by an abundance of berries, the children munched while the adults swapped recipes for all that we were collecting. There is something so satisfying about watching children play in natural environments, using their imaginations to create worlds, and involving everyone regardless of age.
Once home we took stock of our harvest of hawthorn berries, rosehips, pinecones (for crafts rather than hedgerow medicine) and a large amount of blackberries.
Experiment one is going to be a simple hawthorn and rosehip winter syrup, packed full of Vit C and heart strengthening goodness, we'll see how it turns out.
