The life of a wall...


       It always amazes me that there is far more to an old wall then you realise.

       Take, for instance, the wall in the churchyard near to where I live...

        ‘a stone’s throw’ as they say!




 It’s fascinating.



     Passing it daily, I always notice something different...

     Whether it is moss, lichen, Ivy leaved Toadflax, a wild Strawberry plant, 

     Sedum, Ivy...or even Yew!







        In the summer months, the Toadflax will flower, bringing a lovely

        purple tinge to the wall, adding contrast to the mustard coloured lichen.

        Nature just has this way of knowing exactly what will work!



     I wonder...what grows in or on a wall near you?
