Thanks so much for all replies, Hetty58 just looked at your recipe, looks delicious, am definitely going to try it. Where I walk the nettles look very fresh and young, there were lots of sheep grazing in this particular field through the last two months, the sheep have been moved recently and the nettle are new coming through fast and furious. It was wonderful to walk through the sheep, they were very curious and came within a few yards, obviously the spaniel was closely tethered, although she wasn’t the slightest bit interested, no feathers you see, the pheasants earlier in the year, a different matter altogether ?
