Title: Food For Free
Author: Richard Mabey
Subject: A guide to edible plants, trees, fruits and much more in the British country-side.
Comments: If you enjoy foraging and discovering wild foods, this is a must have book! In my opinion, it’s one ot the most important hand-books for those looking for free food.
Title: The Organic Directory (2006 Ed)Author: Edited by Clive Litchfield & Foreword by Sophie Grigson
Subject: A Directory of retailers, producers, wholesalers & manufacturers of organic goods in the UK.
Comments: An invaluable resource – you can even find organic B&B’s! There is now a 2007/8 edition available, I’ve got it in my Christmas wish list.
Don’t let the weather stop your BBQ! Last weekend I stood under the Gazebo BBQing quite happily, despite our friends standing out in the rain without a care (guess that’s alcohol for you!).
Get a large patio table umbrella or a gazebo (a cheap one will do – ours is) and just set the BBQ under it. The taste of BBQ food is worth it, wind, rain or shine!
Glastonbury weekend is ALWAYS going to be a rainy weekend! Never should a BBQ be planned on Glasto weekend. I’m upset that Taste of London planned for the same weekend – now there will be rain no questions asked.
I know bad weather is a given but I plan to have a good time regardless!! :)
