If you’re not on social media, but appreciate my pictures of the great outdoors - and life in general - this is possibly the next best thing, and is constantly updated to show a selection of the most recent photos from my Instagram account.

 

 

View fullsize A.W.O.L Away. Working. Outdoors. Lots. Things are ticking over, life is moving in mysterious directions, and in the words of the great John 'Hannibal' Smith, plans are slowly coming together. Normal service will resume at some point. I promise. Bu
View fullsize SHORT & SWEET. The anticipation is sometimes as good as the final thing 😉🤘🤪 Edit. Maybe the actual first line should have been: SHARP & FLAVOURFUL. ...or... SOUR & INTENSE? Although in the case of far too many people, particularl
View fullsize Apologies to all of you who follow me for the foraging content - I should probably apologise anyway if that's the case, but you're the ones who still choose to sit through my meandering, rambling, brain-fart like posts, covering literally anything at
View fullsize I know, I know. 3 posts in 3 days... I'll be getting a nosebleed soon from all this excessive activity... ...ANYWAY... Today I've mainly been sat at home working on admin. And not just that boring monotonous 'answering emails' stuff, but actual f
View fullsize The beginnings of a story of English Walnut molasses in reverse... 🤞 Over the last few days I've made two small batches of these, from an idea I've tried in the past that I thought should have worked, but didn't really... I think mainly as I used m
View fullsize I love it when the hedge garlic starts throwing out some serious autumn vibes after a couple of weeks of hot weather 🤘🙌🤓😎 #autumnvibesinsummer #alliariapetiolata #alltheautumnfeels #shadesofscarlet #lookatthosecolours
View fullsize Last Sunday - the day after THAT Hen Do 😉🤘😂 - I got to spend the day with a whole load of amateur foragers. We were at #robinswoodhill, one of my favourite places in Gloucestershire - and one which I sadly think is hugely underrated in general - r
View fullsize My Lil'feisty and other animals... We're making the most of the Wednesdays now before the titch heads off to school, so today we headed off to one of our favourite local parks for an explore, a kick around, "DEFINITELY AN ICECREAM, OR ELSE&quot
View fullsize So I'm not going to lie, this past Saturday was exhausting... A long afternoon and evening entertaining 13 drunk and rowdy ladies on a Hen Do... what sort of fool agrees to that?!? Myself and @forceofnaturechef Alex, that's who 🙌🤪😂 But it was
View fullsize Busy few days, although today has mainly been tending to the whims of a rather tired and testy Lil'feisty. But yesterday was a fun one 🤘 In the morning I visited Stanton Country Park with a group from a local - to the country park - gardening club,
View fullsize So yes, there was a bit of unplanned time away from social media... ...that just so happened to coincide with avoiding a few other things that happened to be going on... 🤷‍♂️😂 Anyway, even whilst I was quiet on here, I've been busy elsewhere.
View fullsize Rice pudding and rose petal arancini... a great way to end a fantastic day 🎉👌 They made wonderful tasty treats for the two boys after an early evening walk before heading off to bed 😋👨‍🍳 And what a day. A glorious foraging walk in the suns
View fullsize I'm just going to leave this here, after spending a portion of yet another day defending the stance that very few foragers are out to pillage the land. In my mind, it's almost as important what you leave behind as what you take. In this case, @forc

View fullsize It will soon be the end of an era... kind of. I've now spent the best part of seven years looking after at least one of my ridiculous sons every Wednesday, but come September, Lil'feisty heads off to join The Big'un at 'Big Boy School'. We've share
View fullsize So yeah, I went AWOL, apparently for almost three weeks 😬 🙄 Here's a VERY brief summary, in case you care... Overdid the work. Got poorly. Stayed in bed a fair few days. Started getting better. Got Covid. Slowly got mostly better. Met a whole lo
View fullsize THE ST. GEORGE'S ARE FINALLY HERE!!! ...kinda... Today, after school pickup, I headed off for a wander with Lil'feisty and The Big'un. And after a fair amount of walking, we completely by chance stumbled across a solitary ring of very dry, and fair
View fullsize Pay What You Feel It's Worth. This Friday at 3.30pm is the first Forage and Feast of the season at @revills_farm_shop and what with everything else going on, I've been absolutely rubbish at promoting it 🙄🤯🔫 Terrible in fact 😬 F*CKIN' AWFUL 😢
