Foraging...


...in the wood and around the heath this afternoon.



We found blackberries


for the season’s first apple-blackberry crumble.


And hiding beneath this enchanting fairy toadstool...


...I found my blogging mojo!

*sigh*

It’s good to be back. More soon!

  11. YAY! I truly wondered how you were. I found a fly agaric when I was about 32 and my uncle was genuinely dumbfounded about how excited I was to see it, I had waited so long. I have posted blackberries today too, Glad you are back. Jo x

  19. Hi there!
    I had lost you for a bit, but now I found you! Yay! I had a wonder around facebook for the link to your blog. I changed my blog name and lost all of my followers and friends!
    I hope you have a great upcoming week!

  21. This is exactly what I need to go. A couple of weeks ago we found a nice pond / lake near our house, absolutely covered in blackberries. We've been meaning to go back and pick some to make crumble. I just don't have apples :(

  25. I just love the purples and greens in that first photo - they echo the colours of the apple and blackberry crumble so nicely. I feel like I just got my blogging mojo back too - it's so hard keeping up with posting and reading over the holidays, but it feels great to be back into it now. x

  26. Beautiful pictures here, Chrissie! We have a heathland where we walk too, and lots of purple heather which I have always loved. The colours are gorgeous. I've been hoping to spy a red and white spotted toadstool too but so far I haven't......so lovely to see yours here!
    Happy September!
