Tam and I had a lovely (downhill) foraging walk yesterday and came home with 2 1/2 lbs big blackberries and about 6 1/2 lbs of stripey wilding apples which I plan to make cider with. Here's the view across the Towy Valley.
Common Knapweed (I know them as Hardheads).
A wee Scabious on the hedgerow - probably Devil's Bit Scabious.
A Violet which is a bit out of tune with the seasons.
Looking across the valley again.
One of the sort-of-neighbours up the hill from us. Not very friendly . . .
Walking into the view.
Orpine and a pale Red Campion.
You can just make out a Red Kite if you look closely. There were about 10 of them hunting a field which had been sprayed with grass killer.
Finally, looking across to Black Mountain, and lots of rain clouds piling up. Today has been one of those days and my dearly beloved and I have fallen out. My mood is not improving with keeping.
