Some say: "The glorious 12th of August", though obviously not the pheasants and grouse getting shot by the wealthy hunters who kill birds for fun. Anyway, notwithstanding the sporting connotation, your old blogger set off up the path through Stanhope Dene with Annie and found, guess what? Yes, pheasant of the woods a delicious mushroom growing on trees.
Meanwhile the old blogger's partner was at home preparing lunch for Kathryne and Gillian, the angel of Stanhope. Let's just say, dear readers of Wear and Dao that there was sufficient food to feed an army ... a salad of quiche with prawns, hard boiled eggs and more ... certainly enough to feed us four and enough for tomorrow's picnic at Alnwick Castle with the partner's grandsons.
Today was another hot and sunny day ... as for tomorrow, the forecast is much the same.
