Cheers, will check them out. Cheers, Tom

Just wondering if anyone here makes leather shotgun slips? Thinking as I need a new one it would be nice to own handmade one if it's reasonably priced. Cheers, Tom

Been eating a few, the ones up top are bigger now, also not as hard and a fair bit sweeter than they were. They're mostly on the floor now and with the rain I'm a bit reluctant to pick them off the floor as I don't know how long they've been there although the skins look ok and not mushy or...

Well I plucked up the courage and ate one of the pears off that tree, quite crunchy, gritty like a normal pear and sweet enough for me so over all I would be quite happy eating them and never buying a pear from the shop again (unless I end up in hospital tonight, lol) Cheers Tom

Very much appreciated everyone. Looking at the bark is something I need to get used to, it's too easy to become obsessed with leaves and fruit. Books I have are the river cottage hedgerow and food for free, I'll have a look out for the Collins one too. What I want to do is build up my own...

Cool, as long as I won't die from eating it I'll give it a go. That's the inside of one --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=53.848260,-1.543783 Cheers Tom

I was thinking wild pear cos it at the road side and can't see anyone planting a single pear tree there. Definately not velvety skin. Are there any poisonous pears or similar looking things? I would like to try eating one but because I couldn't id it confidently and can't find anything to say...

Hi all, I'm new to foraging and what not, would love to get into bushcraft type stuff (although I've never even been camping!!!!!!) This tree is down the road from me and they look like pears but they are very small and quite hard, only golf ball size, some one has mentioned quince but I've...

Is that mercedes @ Pannal?
