For a birthday present to myself, I invited my friend Lou to accompany me on a Foraging Feast workshop in nearby village of Buxted.
Today was a gorgeous autumnal Sunday - chilly and clear. We started the day by learning how to skin a pheasant in a rather elegant way, and then we flash seared the breast meat on the open fire outside. Then we set off for a walk around the area and learned about several edible and/or medicinal plants. Robert was our guide, and Erica assisted in her vast knowledge of plants, and it was such a special day! It was only a small group of us (5 paying customers) with several helpers including a photographer who took the photos below*.

After the day was over, Lou and I met Rhodri and the kids at nearby Buxted Inn for a nice supper. Too bad we weren't very hungry after all the delicious pheasant and other wild foods we had been feasting on all day! But it was a wonderful way to end the day. Thank you Rhodri and Lou!
