Life Matters
Did you know, for instance, that you could try foraging in Budleigh Salterton? The intrepid Robin Harford guides groups or families into re-discovering the lost art of foraging. His courses have delicious titles such as Autumn Bounty along The Riverbank; Nature’s Larder; and Acorns and Berries & Baskets. Robin is a professional forager who harvests wild edible plants on a daily basis for his family, as well as supplying local restaurants. Some of his courses take the foraging to its logical conclusion, cooking and eating delicacies such as nettle soup. Analysis of nettles, by the way, has shown that they are 3 times as nutritious as any cultivated foodstuff so, as well as being an original and fun way of spending a day, these are real health and wellbeing experiences.

Life Matters I love the autumn and beauty of our coast and countryside. No wonder many of us think of joining an art class. Not all of us are aspiring artists of course and there is an amazing range of classes and workshops. I have signed up for poetry school, a choir and a graphic design course. I don’t know how I will find the time but I can be sure of an interesting few months! What about you? Have you found something interesting or unusual, or something that is making a difference in your life? Please let me know so that we can share the news across the whole of East Devon
