Brambles

Brambles are sneaky things. They send out runners through the long grass- where you barely notice them- and then- if you carry on not noticing them- you suddenly find that what you'd thought was rough meadowland is now a bramble thicket. Like all creepers they creep fast.

Since I realised they were trying to take over the upper field I've started carrying garden gloves and a pair of secaturs with me whenever I go for a wander.
