      Fine time to be oot fer a walk. Lambies are bouncing, blossom is springing forth, wild garlic is perfect for foraging. I saw a red squirrel yesterday in Aberdeenshire even

        How do you forage wild garlic?? What bit do you eat? How do you use it?? I love the smell when I go walking at my dad’s bit!

          So the stalks you use almost exactly like chives. Great in a tattie salad. The leaves you can turn into pesto, or add to your salad, or add to a pico de gallo, or wild garlic soup is a thing

          Like all foraging: go a little deeper, don’t pick where the dog goes, and give a wash. And don’t confuse it with anything else, it will smell pungently of garlic

        A red one! They are gorgeous. Doubt if there’s any near me here sadly. I’ve heard that pine martens are actually good for red squirrel populations because red squirrels are much harder for them to catch than their invasive cousins.

        Sleepy, its emotionally exhausting at the moment, but not sleeping well either. Holidays and lots of time with the kids take it out of any parent too. My wife is helping loads, I’m a lucky man

          I’m glad you have a good support network. Take as much time from work as you need and sleep as much as you can.
