My seed saving obsession started about five years ago. It was a long late summer and warm dry autumn and the first growing season I had been invovled with Blackhill Club Community Garden, I had always grabbed seeds and thrown them down as reflex when I saw them, but this year there was true intention and spotted them everywhere. I collected them from friends gardens and when out and about if I saw them,

I always ended up with seeds in bags and scraps in my pockets. So much so when I was frisked getting into an outdoor event and asked to explain myself as  clear bag was pulled out of my pocket, I didn't even break a smile or a sweat when replying "My wildflower seeds!"
