And that, my friends, is all for now. Hope you enjoyed.
Next week, due to medical appointments and such, we’re taking a step back in time, into the depths of my archives, to photos you’ve not seen before

I love sea holly. Such a pretty flower. But very very prickly to stand on bare-footed!

Fine to admire from a safe distance 😊

Usually it’s entangled with marram grass. So if the holly doesn’t get you, that vicious grass will. Yet it’s how they survive in an inhospitable environment
