I've just received a letter from my old uncle in Bergerac, who tells me
that they haven't seen so many mushrooms in all their life. The woods
were full of them, from cepes, morels and chanterelles . He told me the
market was amazing. Something to do with the weather again ... who
knows. But Jenny, get going with that house of yours!!! I suspect there
is going to be lots of new conserves. I'm going back in December. I can
take orders ;o)


This is true, it is (another) year of mushrooms. Last weekend 9.5 kg
of cepes in an hour. During the week 5 kg with just the kids in
about a half hour. Too many mushrooms...

Last year was the same, we put up loads and loads. Sadly the local
woods here in Normandy are now filled with commercial pickers from
far away... Lucky they don't know the secret spots!
