Ive only just seen this :) Thanks!
Stmpy, where did you get the Wild Food Yearbook from? Ive found it on amazon and one seller wants £50 for it!  :ohmy: Is it a really expensive book?
The other seller wants £25 which is still very expensive! All other books by the same author seem to be selling for around £5 which is more like what I was thinking.

well - blackberry brandy as per this website - delicious - but doesn't seem to last long for some reason!!? And a new recipe which I got inside my kilner jars for spicy blackberry chutney - I will try to post it on the recipe section - mmmm. Started picking them 3 weeks ago around the lottie - already frozen 6lbs of them!!!!
small, Welsh and almost certainly bonkers, but can be tamed with Talisker, if required
