I was thinking foraged once we're allowed back to the seaside!
Bought sounds much simpler though.
Small sputnik runs was the plan
FORAGED.. this weather?
When lock down ends?
Do you really not want to make this?

I don't mind the weather actually
Timescales may be more of an issue

nice and warm and dry.

If you want any foraging advice Jenny then just shout. Seaweeds are a great foragable, and sugar kelp is easy to ID too.
It's really common down my way, not sure of it's prevalance up by you but it's a VERY common one so would expect the same.
You can probably get it from a rocky shore too at low tide

low tide still sounds wet. Wet sounds cold.
Cold sounds like me and Gazza are safer in sheepskin slippers.

So. I took a couple of nights off from the site for some re-evaluation of time put in and benifits taken away.
I will no longer be online every day.
But the days, (nights, actually) that I am, I will give 100%.

Sadly, Jen and I live a short drive from a shore.
Nicola would have us locked up for foraging.
But, there is indeed all manner of seaweed not far away.

Is Irish moss forageable? Tried finding it a couple of times with mixed results?

Yup, Carrageen is very common. Possibly a little harder to locate sometimes as it's quite nondescript and not a particularly large seaweed

The small redish one or the parsley looking one. Mr Google can't make up his mind.

Top of my head it's a reddish colour, but I'd have to check my books at home to confirm

SUMMER - HUNTING - MANKINI, where I come from they call it cottaging, or so they tell me.
