Well, I have managed 8 gallons of cider this year, but have collected hardly any fungi and no chestnuts at all! Where does the time go? Like everyone else working in the public sector life in the workplace is no bed of roses these days. Roll on retirement, in 7 months from now I can start to reduce my hours. I cant wait. In my working life the past year has been amoung the most difficult. Its no way to end a career, no way at all, but it seems that the days when someone who was leaving was shown any appreciation and thanked are a thing of the past. What a sad indictement of society. It all changed with Thatcher, I remember a time when staff were valued, it seems a very long time ago. Like a lot of people I just wish I could pack it all in.

Fungi update
Well, I seem to still be here. Having apparently survived the ‘test taste’ I will eat a few this evening and I am drying some.
Eating wild mushrooms/fungi
I hear a woman has died after eating death cap mushrooms and another is very seriously ill. Now I really fancy eating wild mushrooms they are so much tastier than anything found in the shops.
Rather unnerved I considered growing my own wild mushrooms in the garden and in discussion have found this excellent site which has loads of contacts and ideas. In fact I am so impressed I am going to make it a permanent link…I have been on a foray with a local group but they went round the cemetery, which I found rather off-putting!
