Wild Foraging with Robinsons Fruit Shoots
I think I first wrote about our love of foraging six years ago, when there was an apple glut and we were about to review a juicer (handy). So when Robinson’s got in touch and asked if we’d like to forage for a new flavour Fruit Shoot, it was an easy yes for us (apart from anything else, as home educators, we’re always looking for new things to learn, and this was a fab way to get 10yr old Bear out into the woods and...

Growing up, going ‘abroad’ was for those who lived in the posher houses (like my lovely friend Nikki with her annual trip to Spain). For us, holidays meant camping – Somerset, Cornwall, Lake District, Peak District… and I never ever felt embarrassed or like I was missing out. It was a holiday!
