This is just the time when we see the dead and newly alive side by side. Bracken straw covers much of the ground and the odd beech clings on to its favourite old leaves like you do with that comfortable and disreputable pullover your wife is threatening to chuck out. Meanwhile the energy of these weeks feels present in the air itself and visible in the new growth on birch and rowan. Most of all on bilberry. Even some early bishop's crooks of bracken can be spotted at the pathside.
