Enjoying some medlars I found growing by the side of the road. Curious fruit, like large brown rosehips, has lots of iron. Needs to be bletted to make them edible (left to rot) as they are too hard and sour otherwise. Taste like a cross between apricot and prune, delicious and free.

There seems to be one other person in the village who knows about them, the lower branches were picked clean. I am taller and got the ones higher up which had longer to mature. Foraging is fun.
