Last autumn I was delighted to see the abundance of blackberries, sloes and rosehips along the nearby towpath and looked forward to having the time to forage at the weekend. I dreamed of making quantities of sloe gin. blackberry jam and delicious rosehip wine. On the Saturday I got together some bags, a basket and my hooked walking stick and headed out.I was confronted with total devastation. The Council workmen had been out with high-powered machines and decimated the hedge rows! In Autumn! Season of mists and mellow FRUITFULNESS! Did these people actually have an education or is lack of same necessary in order to get the job. I have no doubt it will be the same this year and as you have found-complaining is just a waste of time and effort. Elizabeth Bennet-D'arcynoreply@blogger.com
