MISERABLE MONDAY!

It was wet, but weirdly mild today, so there was a lot of catching up and very little time taken to admire the scenery!  We have worked out it is almost a year since we started our walks and I remember it being dark, so we think we need to adjust our routine for the winter months - maybe a midday walk.  This will enable Helen to continue to put together the photo montages which give a flavour of our walks.

Today I had lunch at the Yeo Valley Canteen in Blagdon, right on the lake - spectacular!  The food was wonderfully wholesome, and the cleverly put together decor made for a very pleasant visit.  I would strongly recommend a look at their web site and sign up for the newsletter - yeovalley.co.uk.  They have vast meeting rooms in which they hold all kinds of culinary demonstrations, weddings and all manner of 'pop up' events...

Also today, I came across Adrian Boots, a landscape ecologist & wild food expert. Now he would love to see our huge fungi find of the other day!  It seems he has been exploring, researching and writing about the natural history, landscape, and ecology of the mendip hills for over 15 years.  He will be sharing his knowledge and passion for wild food on the 1st of November, on his next fungi foray!!
