Hazel

We are walking through Lotties Wood at the moment, next to our village of Sunniside. Apart from the exercise, the purpose is to look at what wild foods are growing. Last year. The hazel crop was terrible. Hazel nuts are an important food for those aiming to be self-sufficient. They are important sources of oil and especially protein.

I am pleased to say that this year's crop looks set to be a bumper one!
