Once again, it’s time for MrsT’s quizzes to branch out and spread their roots, and this round... you’ve guessed it, its trees! They help regulate our climate and provide food and shelter for a whole host of animals as well as providing us with a variety of resources, we might otherwise take for granted. Let’s face it, what wood (pun intended) the world be without trees? They come in all shapes and sizes, as do the leaves and fruit that they bare and yes, I was one of those kids who loved the school trip to Westonbirt Arboretum. For the next 12 weeks, I will leaf you with a clue or two about trees for you to mulch over.EnjoyMYSTERY TREE QUIZ #7Clue: Once gave us our daily bread.

BTW - did you see Country file from Westonbirt last evening with the great lighting effects?

As a substitute or addition to "normal" flour can be used: acorns, hazelnuts and chestnuts. But I have no idea if one of these was usen in general and for a long time. But I hope this helps anyone else.

I seem to remember Laura (No 2 daughter) making flour with hazelnuts when she was doing her bit as a neolithic demonstrator but as she is out hunter gathering at the moment I can't check so will go with Hazel for the moment
