A few of the pleasant points of Britain

It was mushroom season, and a little wood that I know grows excellent boletus edulus, while the mushrooms were cooking Frank the vet and shiela came to visit, bringing Buster.

Buster is a border collie, with more feet than teeth and more teeth than brain cells. He’s about 3 years old, and was not cut out for a life as a sheep dog. He is capable of acts like running full speed into a land-Rover coming at 40MPH towards him, so he’s taken early retirement as a house pet.

Yes, that mushroom season was good, even on the day I flew out, I got enough horse mushrooms to cover the passenger seat in Patty’s car. One of them was dinner plate sized.

He, I have visions of that cartoon dog: "Which way did he go? Which way did he go?"
