Nettles !
Ok - my week wasn't too fantastic, I spent alot of it in West Suffolk Hospital with my son who is going to be fine .... thanks to the staff on Rainbow ward.
And there's no better way to take out a little frustration than to attack a patch of nettles, brambles, bindweed etc etc -very satisfying and even now I can feel the nettle stings and bramble scratches on my legs and arms.
After attacking the nettles I did wonder about cooking up a treat with them - just google "nettle recipes" for plenty of ideas ... will tell you how it goes - also found this website www.nettles.org.uk
It must be one of the first plants a child recognises, in order to learn to avoid, and is perfect for fighting with sticks . . . children in Suffolk have probably been destroying nettles for centuries.
And when you get a wee bit older you could do this for fun .... !? Yes - these are Suffolk nettles on youtube.
I would really miss nettles if they suddenly ceased to exist.
