I didn't know people still smoked those.

Careful. Isn't that just up the road from that notorious Sketty Lane car park?

Mistakes can happen snuffling around a pine copse in pitch darkness.
People say you can find a fungi in the dunes, if that's your bag.
mudsticks
Obviously an Aubergine
It did sound a bit like an excuse that had been trotted out a few times before..
Still, as we always say.
"Gotta make your own fun in.the country" 👍🏼
Found a nice Savoy, cabbage out in the fields earlier..
Which was a relief, as I seem to remember planting several hundred of them, earlier this year
There were some weird brown topped mushrooms alongside too .
Didn't look very appetising..
Must find out what they were 🤔
Reminds me of the one about the man in the pumpkin field, of which the punchline is "Christ! Is it midnight already!"It did sound a bit like an excuse that had been trotted out a few times before..
Still, as we always say.

Can you lob one of those Savoys in my direction @mudsticks ?
That'll make a very nice minestrone soup and a dish of gołąbki (spicy pork mince and rice rolled in the cabbage leaves, and then drowned in a creamy tomato sauce)

Trebuchet loaded..
Launch countdown commencing.
Dix, neuf, huit..etc

Umm, you may have missed...
Norman French was pretty well much the lingua franca of the Medieval military.
Anyways, I'm off to the community orchard this afternoon to pick some One Bite apples and some Medlars. And maybe a few Green Harveys if there's any left.
In Todmorden park last week I found some common inkcaps. I got as far as frying them in butter before a niggle at the back of my mind prompted me to check. And I rediscovered they can make you very ill if you’ve drunk alcohol for 2 days or will do, apparently they interfere with the metabolism of alcohol in the liver. Obviously 4 days on the wagon is unlikely so that became a symbolic rather than actual forage.
You made the right call. I've never eaten them for the same reason. Shaggy Ink Caps are fine, though, and underrated in my view.
