November

I came home earlier than I expected so I have had most of my autumn raspberries.  I have also picked a few more pears but many/most are rotting under the tree, there were really too many for me to cope with.  I have been given some hazelnuts nd a few walnuts and almonds, now I am cracking nuts!
I have also been out collecting mushrooms, I collect just 2 varieties and I am now fairly confident with them but I do a spore print each time just to be sure. There were several Parasol mushrooms in a nearby field before I went away but I was too busy to pick them, not sure why now as it would not have taken more than a minute. I found one parasol mushroom yesterday but I think I may have left it too late, but I have found a good source of Field mushrooms so I have collected quite a few, eaten some and I am still alive and well :) and I have frozen the rest.
I have had the first of my carrots and my leeks are looking good, they will be enjoying the wet weather we are experiencing at the moment. We have had a couple of very heavy frosts but mostly it is rain with the first snow on the mountain.
