Chestnut Picking

Large chestnut picking, great fun for a lazy Sunday but don't forget solid shoes for these prickly suckers and a couple of strong plastic bags.  Get there at the end of the season when they are selling cheap (we got 10 kilos at $1 a kilo) and you can stock up for the winter.  If you haven't eaten chestnuts before google for recipes or just steam them as they are fantastic.  Owners are fantastic people and great to talk with.
