Some Like It Dank

To be found everywhere but only truly at home in the damp and dark spaces, like here beside the Lee Stream, foxglove should startle you with its size and colour and otherness amid all the greens. And it helps that rural foxes do wander around here as well.


Not far away but quite different is a profusion of humble bedstraw, even elbowing its way onto my favourite seat. It's also pinched the one shaft of sunlight availableIt's the unkemptness of the clumps that catches the eye at first but the tiny flowers are bewitching close up.
