Wild food can be discovered in the most unexpected places.

Matt's Tale found these on stopping at Welcome Break at South Mimms, one of the few Services on the M25.

He stopped there to give his dog, Bella, a walk on Saturday 13 October 2024. They stumbled on these sources of wild food on the paths around Wash Lane Common, which is out the back behind the Welcome Break Services there near Potter's Bar where the A1 meets up with the M25.

They didn't have time to have a good look, so they had a chat with the guy on reception at Ramada Hotel. South Mimms , who organised a good deal for them to come back and check it out.

On Sunday, they decided to take the deal and so return to take a closer look which is where they discovered the large puffball fungi and more around the edges of the fields which border the common.

This kind of discovery ties in well with the new brand which the Eco-Enabler Alliance CIC will soon launch, where the skill of Ryan Milsom and The Groovy Grove can be brought to bear in knowing what to pick and do with such wild food. Perhaps with it available to eat at a café or restaurant, and maybe even one tied in with a Welcome Break some time in the future where their services are close to such spaces.

These dining experiences could also be combined with stories of the local area, which MattsTale was also luckily enough to hear about on meeting Dave, a former tree surgeon from the area, who happened to be staying at the hotel that Sunday night with his wife and dog. Dave had grown up around Potter's Bar, and had seen it develop from the days that the A1 was a single lane road. He also knew a lot about developments there, changing from farms to celebrity mansions, and heard about life from many more he did work for.

It's these kind of stories of both human and natural history we are looking to combine in our new brand, where people can meet the likes of Ryan and Dave, as well as others, to learn about England's culture and history while also having immersive experiences in different types of Sustainability from food to preservation of local culture and history through to Sustainable Community Development at large.

Please join The Eco-Enabler Alliance (TEA) Facebook Group if you would like to play a part in our creation and development of sustainable journeys, or simply just come along for the ride. We look forward to welcoming you to some places which you might not expect to go, often along the edges of fields and forests forgotten or along roads now rarely taken (or not taken at all!)

These are places where we will seek to bring the best of the old world, and put it together with the best of the new, all for the purposes of creating a healthier and better life as well as better local community - with it all ultimately being better for the planet.

So please "Make time for TEA"!!

Yes, and that's what's beautiful too - because all you can do is to appreciate it, whatever the conditions may be

This goes for the garden as well. 👌

Quel surprise. More anti EV nonsense made up by the media.

Pallavi Sethi explains the basis for complaining to the Independent Press Standards Organisation about the newspaper’s misrepresentation of a report from the Asphalt Industry Alliance and why such reporting continues to damage the British public’s understanding of climate change policies.

This beautiful place is just one part of where we will be next Saturday afternoon, trying out our first Networking Eco Walk (NEW).

We are going to start doing these because we feel that just talking about Biodiversity Loss, Climate Change, and Sustainability online or in an office, pub, or café environment somewhere is not enough.

The essential things, and truth, are "out there" where you can physically see them and hopefully make your own judgement call, along with some experienced or expert advice to help inform you on what to look out for, or to educate you on what you are seeing and what you need or ought to know and do about it.

We hope a NEW is not too new to all of you, but that we still might find something to make you say or think:

"Gosh, I didn't notice that or know that!!".

Indeed, we hope to make it such that you will want to come and explore more with us - The Eco-Enabler Alliance (TEA) - and so "Make time for TEA!!"

Please follow us and contact the Community Operations Team (COT) if you want to share your own outdoor experiences that highlight what we need or ought to know or do about Biodiversity Loss, Climate Change and Sustainability - including how they all tie in with one another.

Enjoying a great takeaway coffee from a sustainable cup while contemplating how to make a sustainable journey, be it for work or a holiday away. What are the ways to go?

Is there a long green road to safely travel down somewhere?

Interesting! What makes buying an EV worthwhile, or what is needed to make buying one worthwhile? That perhaps ought to be the question.

It is not all about Sustainability - it's about ability to travel where one needs to go, transport what one needs to be transported as an individual or a business, and have means to support both including recharging and other infrastructure to get there and back. Plus be affordable.

What else?
