Hi.
After thinking about this for a few weeks, I’ve finally gone and done it – I’ve started a blog. It will be about foraging in and around London, and anywhere else I happen to go. It will be about growing food in my garden. It will be about building solar cookers, charging my phone with a solar panel, learning to cycle on London’s busy streets.
For the moment, here is a placeholder. This is a list of the food I have foraged since becoming interested in foraging in 2004. I’ll add to it as it grows:
