Last weekend we went for a meandering walk along the river Fal and the hedgerows were burgeoning.
The Ivy was flowering...
draped with strings of beautiful (but poisonous) Black Bryony berries, just like Christmas decorations.
Underfoot were rustling leaves...
fallen Yew berries...
and mossy twigs.
Fluffy Wild Clematis seed heads, not so good for foragers, but...
there were Rosehips perfect for Rosehip jelly...
Hawthorne bushes covered in haws...
Blackberries still ripening for crumbles and Sloes perfect for steeping for Sloe Gin (but not until they've been frosted)
But the bramble leaves are turning...
with reds and yellows appearing...
...turning to browns.
And terrifyingly there are berries already on the Holly!
