River Dee




Today was exceptionally warm and sunny again which was good as Paolo, Davina, Ev and myself went for a fungi foray around South Aberdeenshire and gathered the most incredible cep harvest, possibly the best since 1998, which was also a great year for all kinds of edible fungi. A long hot summer followed by mild damp weather is ideal for them. The bright light and the rushing of the river where we had lunch have blown away my travelling aches and pains. We actually sat right out in the middle of the river bed on rocks, as the water level is so low. This seemed like a really good time and place to do salutations together.
