I don’t know what is going on with the comments at the moment, but I’m very happy to have this one.<br />You are absolutely right about Stourhead.

It would get you out of London for a few hours. <br /><br />I wouldn’t be tempted to take a bite out of the fungi because they look so horrible, and I just found this online; They may look like liquorice or black gumdrops (and indeed in the USA they are sometimes referred to a Black Jelly Drops or Poor Man's Licorice), but Black Bulgars are not considered to be edible fungi and they may possibly contain toxins. Perhaps you should stick to mushrooms. :)<br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-58925297548586803232017-10-24T09:01:32.018+01:002017-10-24T09:01:32.018+01:00Hi Marcia, it is an odd colour which is why I wond...Hi Marcia, it is an odd colour which is why I wondered if they were picking up reflections from the sky. But then the outside of them is brown, and I would have expected them to be black, so maybe I’ve discovered a new species or more likely my camera is playing tricks on me! I must go back and check them out another day. The stone cottage is lovely, especially at Christmas time when the fire is alight.
