I think i read somewhere that the stones from the yew contain amounts of cyanide. in small doses this doesnt pose a problem but the problem with cyanide is it takes forever for our body to shift it, therefore the levels build up quickly and can prove to be a problem. im no expert though, and that stuff looks yummy...something has to kill us in the end!!

Ah, my hedge planting plan is looking more rewarding. Replanting one on the farm, so the more diverse the planting, better the flavours. Mixed berry leather and jam next autumn then. Addo, the leather was interesting and I still might get the chance this weekend to have a go myself. In fact, next weekend I'm walking up in the highlands, so the leather might be a nice addition. Will definitely be adding some honey or sugar.
