You are correct though about background as GM may be surprised to know on my father's side I am from Hampshire farming stock (generations back), while my mother's parents were in service (the downstairs staff in Downton Abbey!) in Wiltshire.
No silver spoon or family jewels here! And yes I collected frogs spawn and newts as a lad and need no assistance in identifying berries...
Was this before or after you were bowled out in cricket?
I can picture you Wyot, paddling in the River Bourne when it rained and collecting things in jars.
If Wyot becomes a wounded man by posts, then I will become both an apologist and a philatelist.

If Mrs Wyot asked you to pick berries for a pie, you'll come back with a basket full of Bittersweet because they look pretty.
Do you even own a compass that's not Google Maps?
My hiking sticks have compasses built in on the handles.
