It's walnut season, those delightful treats are falling from the trees in abundance and are ready to harvest.
You must be careful of course that you do not stray onto private property while gathering the nuts and your head is full of date and walnut cake or waldorf salad.
The harvest can be collected freely from public areas, roads that run alongside walnut groves where overhanging branches have dropped their fruit. Some councils plant walnut trees to border car parks, public squares or lining avenues and some just grow wild.
An afternoon walk can bring you home with such bounty. However, as i have just discovered it is important to know the difference between a walnut and dog poo.
