I've been squirreling away three years worth of dried food stock, and after that I've discovered I can survive on what I can forage from nearby woodland.

It might not be pretty, but the new Dark Age could be fun.

Party sounds promising -let's have one in any case...to ward off the inevitable! I know it's your gaff -but I'd warn Babs to lighten up or I'll not endorse his invitation...

Luckily I am my Gran-mother's protegé - she was a great survivor and I have picked up many of her war-time tips and instincts too!

As to foraging -no probs. do you like rose-hip tea? I can recognise mushrooms too, the poisonous ones could be traded with poisonous folk... I can also kill and pluck feathered things -the joys of farm living. If you ever fancy a roast heron or such...
