Ta, Olive. We go for a half hour walk every arvo, season or not... can always find something to check out, animals, plants, bush tucker, fungi, minerals, fossils, etc.  Bit of fishing. But my fill of pans for the taking has taken a bit of getting used to... kind of miss having to leap fences at sunset and keep one eye on the car but there are worse gigs around! Probably too old for shenanigans like that anyway

Hope your headache has sorted itself out Brissie.. it'll do that to ya!

Locky, ta also. I worry about boring everyone with pics of mushies in poo but what can I say... I love the smell of mushroom in the morning

Must be a bit more southern than I am... lucky to have a northern ridge to pick from, and a couple other spots. For every hundred metres up, and every dozen degrees of slope to the north, plants n fungi think they're much further north, latitude-wise... say, Bundy, or so.

Will be brass monkeys and frozen pipes in a couple months though so I like to get em while the getting's good! Always leave mega-acres unpicked for everyone else, long as I have a full jar into winter, happy enough. Don't need kilos!

Get a few city boy pickers over the fence just before Earthfreq most years lately but I haven't the heart to growl at em, they're not hurting anyone. They clear out fast before us beardy, flannel wearing mountain types can kill n eat em, or get all Deliverance about things
