We are very fortunate in that we have a Hazel bush very near to home and no squirrel population.
We do miss our Squirrel friends, but we also enjoy a few foraged Hazelnuts….. The bush produced some pretty impressive nuts last year, but they are even bigger this year., the 10p coin is for scale. So here are the recipes we created last year. Expect several more strange and innovative nut recipes soon as they are just beginning to fall.

The Hazel Pasto won't be repeated here as Sue really didn't like it. You can't win them all.....
There was a one day special on Pork at the local supermarket yesterday. Suffice it to say Pork will be our meat of choice for the next few days! These leg steaks cost us the extortionate price of £0.94 so Sue reinvented our take on Pork Parmo.
Served with hand cut chips, Peas and homemade Coleslaw, this was a really tasty and quick meal. We used some remaining braising stock from the Lamb Neck we had in the fridge. Which was very rich and tasty.
