Half an hour before dawn the young mouse was roused by a shrew who gave him an acorn cup full of damson juice, a loaf of rough chestnut and barley bread, and some tasty fresh roots he could not identify. By first light they were on the move again.

Chestnut bread, hot and crusty from the ovens, with honey or apple and blackberry preserves to spread on it. Apple pancakes, blueberry scones, and savory tarts were passed to and fro among the beakers of strawberry juice and hot motherwort tea.

On the banquet table, mugs of cowslip cordial and rosehip tea vied for place with redcurrant muffins, strawberry and redcurrant turnovers, and raspberry crumble.

They put the basket down on a mossy knoll and began setting out food: a little chunk of celery and herb cheese, small farls of soft yellow dandelion bread, a few rye-flour pancakes, and a flagon of elderberry cordial.

Food was served on the open decks, hogcooks bustling in and out of their huts, carrying pans of thick porridge flavored with cut fruit and honey, the staple diet of Waterhogs. This was accompanied by hot cheese an' mushroom flans and mugs of dandelion'n'burdock cider.

The hare was on his fourth bowl of acorn salad with celery cheese and rye bread. Between salads he had demolished a number of elderberry tarts, a wild garlic pasty with gravy, and a huge portion of fruit and almond trifle topped with meadowcream.

In rapid order, a full apple pie, a plate of dried fruits, a big pitcher of spiced fruit cordial, and an enormous leek and mushroom pastie were devoured by the insatiable hare.

Fruit and almond trifles, topped with meadowcream, jostled for position among carrot an' turnip flans, mushroom pasties, summer vegetable soup, and the favorite of moles, deeper'n'ever turnip'n'tater'n'beetroot pie.

Take your friends along to the larder. I want two small white cheeses flavoured with rosemary, two large cheddar cheeses with hazelnuts and carrots, and one of the extra large red cheeses with hazelnuts and celery.

After the meal, there were beechnut scones, hawthorn and buttercup cheese, and crusty brown bread for those still wanting to nibble.

Here, matey, how's that for wild cherry an' redcurrant cordial? Try some of this hot root punch. How d'you like honeycake? Have a wedge. D'you reckon you'd get the better of one of these crystallized strawberries? Come on then.

Woodland veggible soup, rhubarb crumble, with quince tart an' rosehip cup to follow. How'll that suit ye?

She was treated to a tankard of nutbrown ale and a thick slab of hazelnut, almond, and chestnut cheese, with a small farl of hot crusty oat bread.

Loaves with shining fresh crusts—seeded, patterned, farls, cobs, and batons—ranged between cheeses of white and red. Pies and tarts, apple, damson, plum, and raspberry, latticed or open, twinkled as their fillings caught the candle and lantern lights.

The young ones sat on the floor eating thick slices of fresh rye bread spread with meadowcream and strawberry preserves and sipping from beakers of hot mountain pear cordial.

They had prepared a light lunch of chopped hazelnut salad and blackcurrant muffins, eaten near the strawberry patch.

On the blossom-scented air of soft summer eventide, the tables were laid with clean linen, garlanded by flowers and greenery. Servers stood by bearing jugs of pear cider, coltsfoot an' burdock tea, coltsfoot an' honey cordial, and the good October Ale for which the Abbey was famed.

Laughter and merry chatter rose to the rafters of the big room beneath the Abbey. On the tables, preserved plums and honeyed blackberries vied for place with winter salad and vegetable stews.

Early-spring veggible soup, blackcurrant 'n' plum crumble, with honeynut tart an' elderberry an' burdock cordial to follow. How'll that suit ye?

Up and about since the crack of dawn, they had rekindled the fire and made a meal. Warm seedcake with honey, fruit salad, and raspberry juice.

Oh, well done! Nothin' prettier than an almond tart with a good crisscross lattice of pastry on it. Open the top ovens, I can smell that flan, it's ready!

Three trolleys were laden with buffet lunch—bean and scallion soup, wheat bread and cheese, mixed berry cordial, followed by a dessert of gooseberry pie.

They camped at the edge of the path that night. Seated by a merry little fire they had a good supper of honeysuckle scones, honeycake, and rosehip'n'apple cider.

Gurrbowl placed himself in charge of drinks. He made rosebay willowherb tea, a cordial of rosehip and daisy, and a great deal of elderberry'n'plum wine.

She gathered up some food—a wedge of strawberry shortcake, a hunk of yellow cheese studded with hazelnuts and carrot, and a small fresh-baked crusty oat farl.

The food was good, but not fancy: grapes and russet apples, nuts and blackberries, hot chestnut flour pancakes, soft dandelion bread, cheeses, and mint tea, with flagons of cordial for those who wanted it.

Mmmm! I smell hot damson and honey pie and apple pudding, and scones, fresh from the oven too, with comb honey spread on them.

Muggum sat by the fire and filled two goblets with freshly brewed strawberry cordial.

Here, matey, how's that for elderberry an' burdock cordial? Try some of this hot root punch. How d'you like wild cherry an' almond cake? Have a wedge. D'you reckon you'd get the better of one of these sugared plums? Come on then.

A pot of dandelion'n'rosehip tea with honey to go in it, a platter of bilberry muffins, and Abbey bread lightly spread with damson preserves.

Don't start talkin' about scoff, you'll have everybeast goin' on about feasts they were at seasons ago. All that ripe fruit an' crumbly cheese an' acorn salad, aye, an' strawberry cordial. Look, you've got me at it now!
