Made a lovely discovery yesterday.Finally decided to stop my car and check out a site that I’ve passed a million times before.
I could see from the road that it had been a quarry and fully expected it to be a rubbish tip. To some extent it is; the usual discarded tyres, containers, rusting metalwork. But it’s bigger than I expected, with standing water, creating a wonderful secret nature reserve. I couldn’t get too close – the nettles were as tall as me, and I had open sandals on – not the best footwear for exploring.
But I’ll return today, with camera and machete, to explore. It has wonderful secrets: just the sort of place I love.
