Doing a spot of weeding this morning, and wheeling the barrow up to the compost heap, I was struck by the paleness of the patch of Bonfire Moss (
Funaria hygrometrica) that is growing on the 2014 bonfire site on the upper lawn. It turned out the whiteness was water droplets on the capsules reflecting the pale overcast sky.
The bonfire site has a diameter of about two metres and, as you can see to the left, most of that is now covered with Bonfire Moss. The dark patch in he middle is where something has been doing some digging.

Plenty of young Bonfire Moss
Further up, near the top of the garden, honeysuckle is opening its leaves among the Grey Sallow branches it uses for support.
This has made me decide, for the moment, to let the young birch tree grow beside the honeysuckle stump so that it also has something to grow up.
