One of the best things about fall on the west coast is the mushrooms!

Totally…and delish!
What a pleasure to see these beautiful mushrooms being handled so carefully with such cutely dressed, small wooden, sweetly carved dolls.
We like having Hitty company when we are in the kitchen, they usually have fun and enliven the process!

Thanks very much – the mushrooms were very tasty!
Yum, We love mushrooms in our house.
We do too – especially fried in butter and added to almost anything!
Chanterelles used to grow in the woods across the lane when I was a young child… I haven’t eaten one since I was about 8 years old, but I can still remember how they taste and smell….
I didn’t realise they grew in the UK! Did you like them? They are a very expensive treat from the store, but we have friends who go picking every year…this has been an excellent two weeks for mushrooms apparently – lots of rain after a hot dry summer!
Oh yes, all over northern Europe! They’re delicious, but sadly quite elusive. My mother taught me to hunt for them by sniffing, as they’re supposed to smell a bit like apricots. They certainly do have a fruity aroma, but I’m not sure it’s apricots, myself!
my oh my, how yummy. What a wonderful surprise. We love mushrooms!
We love them too – and we love our mushroom dresses – just the perfect outfits for this activity and season!
