I don’t know if any of the rest of you are havin I don’t know if any of the rest of you are having problems with Instagram, but for me it’s so glitchy I can hardly bring myself to use it - it’s absolutely doing my head in. But here are some beautiful autumn vegetables (and some rather out of place looking bundles of Grüne Soße herbs) at the market in Mainz. I love this time of year 🍂
I had an hour to kill between trains on my way up I had an hour to kill between trains on my way up to Usedom, so had a lovely wander around Stralsund in the afternoon sun. Pretty isn’t the word 💙
Another thing I got up to on Usedom (again, as a g Another thing I got up to on Usedom (again, as a guest of @usedom), was taking part in a guided mushroom foraging trip. Our small group was let loose into the forest behind the sand dunes for half an hour, and I just could not believe how many different varieties we all collectively came back with. That photo of the bench shows only about a third of the different types we collected, but not even the full amount of each of them - laying them out like that was just for identification purposes. After a brilliant talk through them all by a man who’s spent the last 40 years of his life working with mushrooms, we took the edible ones we’d collected home. A very kind lady gave us the beautiful porcini she’d found, which my lovely host invited me back to hers to eat along with the rest of ours. 10/10, would do the whole thing again immediately 🍄
I spent another wonderful three nights on Usedom a I spent another wonderful three nights on Usedom a couple of weeks ago (as a guest of @usedom), doing terrifically autumnal things such as hunting for amber on the beach and foraging for mushrooms in the forest by the dunes. I also learned a great deal about the (German half of the) island’s forestry and game history, culture and traditions, in part thanks to @usedomer_wild. This is the counter in their gorgeous shop and mini café, where they sell only what they’ve hunted, butchered and processed themselves, or been provided with by other hunters on the island. Their venison salami, not pictured because I’ve long since eaten the one they sent me home with, is out of this world.

Highly recommended for wine lovers visiting Germany as well as those of you living here who fancy a thoroughly enjoyable day out tasting excellent wines, visiting two dynamic family-run wineries and learning lots about German wine history and culture.
