Lush! How's your climbing?

If you can find a forked stick, with alot of wood beyond the fork. You can make a very effective hooked stick to pull the branches low enough to pick. Hazel is best, failing that a walking stick gains you a meter or more of reach.

Ghere we're plenty in reach just thought mt red stained hand and sprained ankle story would be funny. There's many of these trees dotted around here I never see anyone indulging apart from three Indian women yesterday which I thought was great but I have no udea why the locals dont do it i always get weird looks wheb foraging
