disenchantedenchantress We went out yesterday as the first foraging outing for Burbcrafters. It wasn't a large group of us, but we had a nice time walking around Trent Park. I think next time I would prefer to go a bit more off the beaten track, as it was quite busy and well-managed with its clipped back hedges and the like.
There were blackberries and we got a few tubs worth, although not as many as there have been over the years. I think the lack of sunshine and rain or too much of both at various points over the summer meant they weren't the crop they could have been.
Saw a couple of parakeets flying around, which we think seriously upset a local wren, who was calling away furiously.
Although the group was small. I am not going to worry about it. I am not doing the group to gain a following, or fill some need to be on the Pagan scene, it is more a way of doing what I want to do, and seeing if there are like-minded people who wish to join us.
