The more I look into these domes the more I like them Jules wants another tunnel for next year but I might see if I can have a go at building a dome I have drawn up some plans for a paper model based on the ones on the geo dome website.

doesn't look like a shaggy ink cap.

I'll send you a PM.

Wow, that's some foraging goodness right there! excellent

we have a raspberry bush / cane on our allotment that is still in fruit now. You do get varieties of raspberries that fruit in the autumn, so could well be that

leaf looks raspberriesque ...
