MUSHROOMS<br />
It’s that time of year again<br />
when the countryside around<br />
us is filled with a variety of<br />
delights in the form of<br />
mushrooms. Before you set your alarm<br />
and don your wellie boots, faire attention.<br />
There are over 3000 different types of<br />
mushrooms growing here, and a majority<br />
are not for consumption.<br />
If you are thinking about going for a<br />
forage, please keep in mind that there<br />
are rules to picking.<br />
1. Mushrooms need to have grown to a<br />
reasonable size, don’t pick the tiny<br />
ones. The mushrooms must be of a<br />
size where the spores would’ve been<br />
released, resulting in propagation.<br />
2. Cut the mushroom at the base, with a<br />
knife. Do not rip it out of the ground.<br />
This would result in damaging the<br />
underground part of the mushroom.<br />
3. Use a wicker basket, so when you<br />
carry the mushrooms, they release<br />
their spores through the holes and<br />
propagation can take place again.<br />
Once you have picked your mushrooms,<br />
you need to confirm they are safe to eat.<br />
Books and the internet can give you<br />
knowledge, but the best advice is to<br />
check with the locals. Your pharmacist<br />
should also be able to help. Never take<br />
a chance.<br />

Clear Up & Clean Out.<br />
If you’ve bought a property in France, you’ll<br />

clearing out before any renovations can<br />
begin. This is where I can help you, by<br />
removing all rubble and rubbish from houses,<br />
outbuildings or gardens in readiness for work<br />
to commence.<br />

horses and general animal husbandry.<br />
All work considered, no job too small, honest<br />
days work, reasonable rates. Van available<br />

Tim Shepherd<br />
Having worked as a professional fire fighter<br />
in the UK for 18 years, I have seen the<br />
devastation that a chimney fire can cause.<br />
During this time I also ran my own successful<br />
business as a chimney sweep with both<br />
residential and commercial clients<br />
throughout rural Cumbria. Many of my<br />
clients owned second homes and holiday<br />
lets and I also provided advice on how to<br />
reduce the risk of fire in the home. I now<br />
offer this expertise and valuable experience<br />
here, so if you need advice on any aspect<br />
of fire safety or a quote please get in touch.<br />
