Do you own a Cabin or a Cottage in the UK, or know someone who does?
Weโ€™re looking for a cabin/cottage location for our Feature film which is a PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER (There will be fake blood scenes). Filming planned for the first week of April 2026.
Our project is low to no budget, so weโ€™re hoping to find something affordable. We can offer a small fee and an on-screen credit.
Ideally we would like to be able to have two cars parked in front of the cabin or cottage as part of the filming.
If you think you could help or know someone who might, please get in touch - weโ€™d love to hear from you!
A lake and forest nearby and somewhere not to far from London (few hours drive fromLondon) is an added bonus but not essential.

Happy New Year! ๐ŸŽ‰ Wishing everyone in this wonderful foraging community the very best for the year ahead.

For me, 2026 is about aligning with those who truly share my values. Iโ€™ll be more mindful about who I follow and engage withโ€”not just liking a beautifully presented post without understanding the person behind it.

This comes after a hard lesson last year: I discovered that someone I followed for their foraging content holds views I find deeply offensive. When I questioned a post about a far-right demo, they blocked me rather than engaging. Thatโ€™s their choice, but it was a wake-up call.
Itโ€™s unsettling when a polished online persona masks values that clash with what they claim to stand for.
Even more surprising was seeing people in my network liking and following this person. You might want to check if their views align with yours too.

Lesson learnedโ€”I wonโ€™t make that mistake again.
Once again, wishing you all a happy, healthy, and values-aligned 2026. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

Hi everyone, Iโ€™m now over half way into my virtual Stride for Gaza in aid of Medical Aid for Palestinians. Reaching the site of Nasser Hospital, Khan Yunis. Itโ€™s been a cornerstone of healthcare for the people of Khan Yunis since it first opened its doors in 1960. For decades, it served as a lifeline for thousands, a place where families sought care, hope, and healing.

Since October 2023, Nasser Hospital has faced repeated attacks and unimaginable strain. Despite severe shortages and immense danger, its dedicated staff continue working, using whatever resources remain to save lives and provide critical care to those most in need.

โ€œBasic items like bandages, syringes, and surgical gloves are in short supply, forcing healthcare workers to make difficult decisions about how to allocate limited resources.โ€

If you can, please donate so MAP can continue their vital work in Gaza.

Starting tomorrow, the 8th October, I am striding for Gaza in aid of Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP).

I will be completing 98km in 23 days and virtually following the displacement journey of one of MAP's Palestinian colleagues in Gaza. I am taking part to serve as a powerful reminder to keep doing my part to help Palestinians.

Please donate to my page and help me support MAP as they remain for the Palestinian people - no matter what. You can track my progress via the map on my page. Thank you! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

Hi All ๐Ÿ‘‹

Steve here from Mental Health Mates Highams Park,
the peer support walk & talk group where likeminded people can come together to connect and share, to talk about mental health, or anything else, without fear of judgement.

The walks are free, are open to everyone, no referral or sign-up required. There is no need to book ,please just turn up on the day.

Open to everyone, means just that, we all have mental health, and everyone is somewhere on the Mental Health Continuum.

The Mental Health Continuum is a model that shows mental health exists on a spectrum, ranging from thriving to struggling or crisis, not as an all-or-nothing state of having a diagnosis or not. It recognizes that mental health is fluid, can change over time due to many factors (like work, home life, or bereavement), and that people can move between different states of wellbeing.

Iโ€™ve experienced ill mental health, with depression and anxiety and walking really helped me. Thatโ€™s why I still walk and lead this group. At this present time Iโ€™d say my mental health is thriving with only very mild symptoms.

Everyone is somewhere on the Mental Health Continuum, where would you place yourself? Wherever you are, you are so welcome to join us. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

Also, Iโ€™m a Mental Health First Aider and have received Mental Health and Walk Leader Training with Mental Health Mates. Our walks are also covered by Public Liability insurance.

Please feel free to reach out to me beforehand if you have any queries. I look forward to seeing you soon. โœŠ๐Ÿผ

My evening woodland walk turned up more fascinating fungi! Get to know the amazing Birch Polypore (Fomitopsis Betulina), with its impressive record of medicinal uses spanning centuries, including treatments for immunity, wounds, and parasites. Notably, Birch Polypore was discovered on ร–tzi the Iceman, a 5,300-year-old mummy, who probably used it to treat his parasites!

This Reishi mushroom, also known as Ganoderma lucidum, mannentake, and lingzhi, has seen better days. But a rare find.

They are believed to have various health benefits, including boosting the immune system, anti-cancer properties, improving fatigue, and more.

When you have an abundance of blackberries due to re-wilding the garden itโ€™s fresh smoothies everyday and crumble every other day.
Iโ€™m so grateful for this privilege. Fresh Fruit, Free Palestine ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ
