Hugh F.W would have been proud of me.
I gleaned, gathered,
foraged and found,
crab apples,
cobnuts,
mulberries and
blackberries
on a walk today.

But we had to pass through a light industrial estate
cross busy main roads,
and pass unlovely housing estates
to find a bit of country life.
Maybe one day,
we''ll have it on our doorstep.
Forage for blackberries, mulberries, crab apples,and cobnuts...You are resourceful.
ReplyDeleteI love your gleanings - I can relate to what you are saying, not that I live near an industrial estate, but some of my rambles can take me past ploughed up paddocks, muddy driveways and areas of nothingness but amongst all this I find beauty. I don't know what cobnuts are and have only seen a mulberry bush in a London park,
ReplyDeleteUnexpected bounty from unlikely places is always more precious than living among plenty. No?
ReplyDeleteMulberries......... sigh........... how lucky were you??!!
ReplyDeleteI love the way that foraging is celebrated in England! I think it's one of the most charming aspects of this lovely country.
