Fancy joining this crazy wild woman exploring her favourite place in the world? I’ve two wild food walks at the follies this month. 20th July is my forage and feast, where we enjoy an immersion in nature, looking for wild food, poison, and whatever else surprises us on the day! I’ll show you the difference between the edibles and the toxic species and the features that separate them. We will have little tasters as we explore and then sit down and relax with the stunning views of Shropshire when we enjoy a 3 course wild dinner. £60 27th July like the above but without lunch! £30 #foraging #foragingcouse #wildfood #forager #nature #explore #learnsomethingneweveryday #joinme #shropshire #july #wild #naturemakesmehappy

Well finally sat me down and I’m getting some of the recipes out of my head and onto my website!! More will no doubt be coming over next next few weeks while I’m stuck resting my busted arm! and head over to the recipes section #silverlining #recipes #wildfood #foraging

Well some clumsy fool went and tripped over her own doorstep n fractured her elbow 🤦🏻‍♀️ Not that being down to one working arm has stopped me in the slightest, in fact I’m seeing the perks! #clumsy #idiot #ffs #forager #adhd #sling

Who needs a gym when it’s wild strawberry season!!! The foragers step and squat workout is great for the legs and butt! #foraging #wildfood #exercise #workout #wildworkout #wildstrawberries #nature #connection

Lime or linden tree, This fabulous tree has some epic foody uses, the leaves when young are a great salad leaf, when older u can stuff the leaves Now we’ve got the blossom which is incredibly sweet and dried makes a fabulous tea, which is an anti anxiety and mild sedative, so you get a great sleepy tea! I make lime blossom, mugwort and lavender tea, it tastes great floral and herby but it’s also great when your mind is racing and you can’t get to sleep! (Please note mugwort can cause miscarriage and only to be used by those who are not trying to get pregnant, pregnant or breastfeeding, or by anyone who suffers from heavy periods) #limeblossom #lime #lindon #sleepytea #foraging #wildfood

Sea arrow grass, One of the most incredibly flavoured salt marsh plants there is! It’s is dark green, long and semi circular strands of what looks like grass! Collect during damp times, the leaves can accumulate cyanogenic glycosides particularly after a drought #arrowgrass #seaarrowgrass #seacoriander #foraging #wildfood #yummy

I’ve prepping for a talk on foraging and the environment I’m doing tomorrow and I came across a great Ted talk by @cornishwildfood and he said how melting ice caps and suffering polar bears is too far away for most to notice the changes caused by climate change and foraging brings it far closer to home! Well here you go folks!!! 26th June 2024 and I have the first ripe blackberry of the season!!! (There’s loads more on the bush about to ripen give it a day or two more!!!) As a kid I used to pick blackberries into October, this year my little patch of blackberries will be well and truly gone by then! This is climate change it is real and it is happening! #climatechange #foraging #seasons #seasonsshifting #blackberry #blackberries

Forgot how much I love the peaks! Out today teaching the next generation from the Kings school! Seems like another life ago I was infront of a class of kids #schools #teaching #foraging #wildfood
