When Ah waz a lad...

In a village of about 3-3.5k population we were never far from the fields, woods, hedges, and Pea-sticks were easy come by. When you're in a population of nearer 15+k, and in a housing estate, and officially a wrinkly, you tend to look for the easy road.
In this case the easy road was last years Autumn fruiting Rasp canes.
