Mushroom & Blueberry Hunting

Hey People

Charly and I went mushroom hunting last week with Hermann and Rudi and it was a great morning. We left at 8am and headed up the Saukaisergraben to Hermann's hut which is fantastic. It was a 17km drive up the valley and well worth the trip. We managed it all the way in the van as its 4WD. We had a look around the great hut and then headed off with our buckets for blueberries and our cloth bag for the mushrooms. We spent a good hour and a half hunting around the bottom of the trees for mushrooms and got a good kilo or so. Then we headed out into the fields and picked some blueberries for our lunch !

Charly was really good and even though it was really steep she found it a great adventure rummaging through the trees and sliding around on the steep slopes. We didn't get many blueberries as picking them in the hot sunlight was a bit too much. Enough for blueberry pancakes though for 3 !

On the way back home we had to wait about 20 mins for the horses on the road to clear. Not a big fan of getting out when those big things are around so we sat in the car and tried to shoo them away. Took longer than we thought but it was a great laugh. We were surrounded on all sides by horses and they were licking the windows and trying to stick their heads through to say hello. It was a stinking hot day so you can just imagine windows closed and waiting ... Anyway they finally decided to move off enough for me to run out and open the gate and drive through before they followed us. Charly was laughing her head off at me cause I am a little scared of them ! Very funny apparently ...

Some pikkies - the horse photos were taken by Charly on my phone - that's why they are not too good !






















Heidi & Eddie - do you recognise the great clothes ??
