with my Rushden foraging guide Carolyn Bantin
As part of the Light Walks for Dark Days project I'm doing with Jo Dacombe in Kettering, Wellingborough, Finedon and Rushden I have been out foraging for wild and home grown produce to cook up with our walking group.
Damsons in Rushden
Luminous blush, wind fallen fruits
Nestle in moss and ivy
Succulent jewels
Rosehips in Corby and Kettering
Hard red berries on thorny branches
Glow against Paynes Grey sky
Ageing grasses
Elderberries popped from stems with
Silver forks, cordial in progress
Purple fingers and thumbs
Blackberries sweet from twilight bushes
Explode fat with juice and joy
Unexpected bounty
Crab Apples, sweeter than most
Many red and fallen
Sunday spoils
