In this episode, we discuss some strange noises, plastic grass and hawthorn brandy!

There is also our regular Mindful Moment and this time we're thinking about the 5 Ways to Wellbeing and how we can use them to look after our mental health. It is Mental Health Awareness week from Monday 10th of May and you can find out more about that here - Mental Health Awareness Week 2021 - Mental Health UK (mentalhealth-uk.org) 

We mention wood sorrel and garlic mustard as a couple of plants that can be foraged at this time of year, and a really good site to know what to forage is the Woodland Trust - Foraging Guide - Month by Month - Woodland Trust
