None so blind as will not see

Cowslips  (Primula veris)

Grey Granite cannot comprehend those, and they are many, who say that they find the Line boring. The Line is never the same on two consecutive walks, the wild life: the birds, flowers and mammals are constantly changing and give special character to each section of Line and each season.

This morning there was an eddying grey mist but the gorse formed great yellow, coconut scented banks near Rathen Station. There were unexpected cowslips and intensely mauve violets in the granite hardcore at the edge of the Line. There are now many clumps of cuckoo flower in the ditches, where last week there was only an isolated patch, sweet Cicely and pink campion on the banks of the Water of Philorth, mallards in the river, buzzards over the woods, chaffinches and bluetits  in the gorse and  today no people to impose vacuous chatter.
