Rather Cheerful

With cause the melancholy thistle can feel happy. After all a nearby one has been somewhat mangled by a passing cow while this one survives.

It's not the spot some of us would choose, under the wall of the A625, a couple of feet away but 6 feet above. When motorists lose control on this dangerous bend and go through the wall masonry rains down and odd bits of bodywork, hopefully not human. Later, likely to be much later, contractors arrive to rebuild the wall and could be trampling just here. Then there are the cows. Enough said.
