cwic-beám

After dinner a stroll in the evening sunshine brought me to this towns tree. The old English name cwic-beám or "quickbeam" has almost disappeared.

The berries must be cooked to remove toxins but make a wonderful bitter jelly that goes very well with game. Just in time for the grouse season which starts tomorrow!
