The sight of fantastic fungi doesn’t get old🍄
As the height of the season rolls around again, more and more are popping up. On fallen branches and nestled on the forest floor, you just have to keep your eyes peeled 👀
The magic of spotting the fruiting mushrooms just at the right time is always a joy and inevitably helps us find that childlike curiosity when enjoying a wander through the forest.
Not all are edible, of course, but we've seen chanterelle, oyster, and field mushrooms, to name a few. Just be sure to sign up with a foraging expert via Forest of Dean & Wye Valley if you're not 100% sure and want to learn more. Tudor Farmhouse | Boutique Hotel & 2AA Rosette Restaurant offer foraging lunches in October, which are an ideal way to do it.
Or just embace your inner kid and enjoy the sight of the multitude of mycelium you'll come across on your forest walks this time of year.

Our apologies. We're a little delayed...
We were a little optimistic as to how long it would take, in between hosting a big family milestone celebration this last weekend, to read all of your lovely thoughts on your competition entries.
Given we asked you to take the time to reflect and NOT use AI to say a sentence or two in your submissions we're also taking the time to read every single one and not using AI to do so.
So, please bear with us. We'll be in touch with the competition winners by Wednesday 16th at the latest.
Thanks for your patience.

New coffee incoming...
We've just had our coffee stocks topped up from Kontext Coffee Company with another Mexican blend called Bankilal from smallholder farmers of the Tenejapa region.

So you've got notes of nut brittle, sweet oranges and butter toffee 🍊
Guests had already been enjoying the previous Mexican beans we had, and, according to Katja, these beans are similar but even nicer - smoother, sweeter.
Enjoy and happy Friday!

Last chance to enter our birthday competition!
Some honourable mentions before we wrap things up at midnight, tonight...
Simon Jones is a local maker whom we've gotten to know over the years, and we've always enjoyed the mix of rustic playfulness with colour, shape, and form.
Nuthatch is peppered with Wildwood pieces, from big plant pots, to salt pigs to a variety of mugs on the shelf hence, when we wanted something bespoke and huggable to share as part of our winter 'hibercation' offering, Wildwood Ceramic Studio was a natural place to go.
We pair this mug with a taster from one of our favourite hot chocolates makers, Meredith, from Calm Cocoa mindful hot chocolate to set you up for a cosy evening around the firepit, wrapped up warm - imagine being snug in your gorgeous Sprig Textiles scarf - and enjoying the stars ✨️

Both our competition prizes include one of these mugs as a keepsake of your time at Nuthatch Retreat.

See the main competition post for full details of all the wonderful offerings you can win thanks to Post., Sprig Textiles, Marshall, Tudor Farmhouse | Boutique Hotel & 2AA Rosette Restaurant and The SELF Centre and enter via the 🔗 link in the bio ☝🏽

Full terms & conditions are above, too.

Good luck!

Relaxed fine dining and award-winning afternoon teas can be found at our next prize partner.
Tudor Farmhouse | Boutique Hotel & 2AA Rosette Restaurant offers much more, too. A myriad of experiences such as wildlife safaris, crafternoons and foraging adventures, beautiful rooms and suites in which to stay, and a menu that includes homegrown ingredients and the best cocktails (including alcohol-free) in the forest.
Nestled in the heart of the drama of the forest - Puzzlewood and Clearwell Caves are nearby - as a local, it's a favourite of mine for a change of scenery. I'm a little prone to their two-course lunch or a really good sandwich and twice-cooked chips 🙊 whilst I do some writing and deep thinking.
They're offering an afternoon tea for two for our birthday competition and I can't think of a better place for it.

See our main competition post for the very generous prize package and enter the competition via the 🔗 in bio.
