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!  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.

Of course Donna, it was you who suggested it or something similar.
