Tales From River Cottage: Local Crafts And Customs (2006)

When it comes to acquainting yourself with the curious local customs of your newfound rural home, Hughï¾’s basic message is: get stuck in, and no half measures. Hugh recalls how he learned new rural skills such as hedge-laying, charcoal-making and mouse charming, and immersed himself in bizarre local antics, such as the annual nettle eating competition, and the bizarre Dorset sport of pumpkin guddling. And another chance to see his memorable entry in the sculpture on the beach competition, where he covered himself in dead fish.
