Take a couple of buckets because you don't know what you are getting. There should actually be quite a few loose nuts just laying on the floor so you might do OK.
It's funny, I can't remember not going blackberrying and chestnutting, simply always done it even as a child. I am not sure whether the seasons have moved or chestnuts are ripening earlier, but I remember as a young child chestnutting in the snow, not an easy task :rotfl::rotfl:What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -

If it was snowy, I would be better able to find fallen ones... it is thick undergrowth!
I am thinking of protective clothing!

Oh dear, that bad :eek:
I walk into blackberry bushes in jeans, might be worth having a stick on hand if it is that bad! It is well worth it though. That said I simply have not had chance to do anything with the nuts I collected, they are in the freezer for when things are less manic.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -

The tree is 80 odd miles from my house, but near where I go rather regularly for work... so should to be dressed in work clothes... but jeans and wellies are looking good!
I love them roasted, but never tasted soup but soup and brioche is on the menu!:D:D:D:D 100 -

Another lazy morning here
Glad Rhos is alright & in the loop
Feeling glum as Dad has had another mini stroke
This time a Dr was called & he has to have a CT scan The worrying bit is it a bleed one or a clot?
Clot would be better as blood can be thinned. He also has blood cancer so blood has to be monitored ...
So I'm away with my gloomy thoughts at the moment
Very sorry to hear your dad has blood cancer snap.
Big hugs

You take a photo of the label or input the name of your wine and you get a score out of 5. Here is the score of the Hardys I bought earlier.
DS reckons that there's not many above the 4 mark and he's right. We only have one in the house and it's the boxed Coop Moet champagne we got a few years back. It came out at 4.1.
Interested to see if anyone has anything higher:)
Oooh I am going to have so much fun with that. :beer:
Just went to the website and popped in a name search from one I could remember "Sister's Run" from a mystery box while back and hit 4.1 straight off.
Will have to see if I can beat that, it's too cold and dark to have a proper play now. 0 -
I went collecting chestnuts this morning after Id been to T's. I keep one of those reachers in the car, so easy for picking them up and putting them into the bag. Use to be able to get these reachers cheap in one of the discount shops. Was either B&M or Home Bargains. But don't know if they still have them.Enterprise_1701C wrote: »Chicken
