Back in the woods with today for some camp maintenance and a baked bean chakchouka with scarlet elf cups. Top day!

This is the first time in years I’ve found a medlar tree (Mespilus germanica) which I could harvest without doing some serious trespassing - gonna leave the gathered fruits out in the frost and see if that ripens them up a bit more

A very warm thank you to Claire for sending this beautiful postcard and seed from wild service trees from The Blean. I will do my absolute best to raise them well and you will be receiving some Devon ones in exchange as soon as I can find a mature specimen. 🌳🌱🍁

So the sea didn’t want me to have Start Point on the weekend but she did give me Bigbury-on-Sea to Noss Mayo in perfect paddling conditions. That being said she did decide she wanted my map and water-bottle as sacrificial offerings though. 🌊🗺⛰
