Whilst out wandering the foreshore this morning I took the time to notice that there was a whole world under my feet. The old Victorian riverwall reminded me somewhat of the limestone clynts and grykes that I saw up on The Burren in Eire in February. There is a small channel between each of the huge concrete slabs that make up the wall and growing within them are a host of plants taking shelter from the wind. It was howling up above but no wind fluttered a leaf in these two inch deep gullies with their mini-Sedums and Herb Robert. On a warmer day it would be interesting to see what invert life is living down there.....
