      I’ll be doing the UK this year. First the wales coast path then I’ll probably head to the north east England and maybe Scotland. Then next year I plan to do a bit of inter railing and exploring around Europe, especially Scandinavia. Also want to explore around Ireland at some point :)

    That was a year of top class information, Lewis, it's like having an online foraging course given to us for free. The way you teach us about what's available out there in our native woodlands and shorelines is always excellent and there's never any added gimmicks and egotrips along the way either :) . The good ol' drone footage ain't half-bad too :) .
    Thanks for everything, mate, it's very much appreciated.

    It was exciting to find a new forage plant today - Thyme leaved sandwort. Like you said, if you keep your eyes open and get closer to the ground, there can be so much to see and learn even in Feburary! Deadnettles (lamium) along with wild garlic (allium vineale), chickweed, and some brassicas have been common forages here in Missouri for this month.
