Black Walnut


The Black Walnut is one of those extraordinary gifts of nature. Its wood is prized by designers
and the nuts are nutritious (and particularly beneficial for women). If I ever have some land I will plant a forest of them. This one was dropped by a squirrel in a hurry.

It's also the name of a superb bakery/cafe in London.
