   We feel that our garden doesn't stop at the fence boundary. We go into these open spaces in the summer to get blackberries and can easily fill several 2-litre iceceam boxes in an hour in the peak season. Wembley Council planted several fruit trees and so we can also find cooking apples and conference pears.

   One time Marie went out for just 15 minutes and came back with a bowl full of apples that she'd just picked up from the ground. Of course they needed to have the buggy bits cut out and the bruises but she made really nice apple cakes from them. We also have fruit chunks with our porridge because of our extended garden too. We also found mushrooms, not only the usual white ones but the yellowy-green ones that I first came across in a forest in the Czech Republic.

   Apart from all this fruit it's really nice to look out of our bedroom window and see the trees.
