Up in Glasgow today. Really struck by the abundance of Buddleia around the city, in gap sites, between pavements and walls, and even growing on top of derelict buildings. Not quite in flower yet, but still an impressive sight.
Speaking of environmental planning issues (as I was yesterday), came across an interesting website (http://www.carrifran.org.uk/) describing a project to establish a natural woodland in a valley between Moffat and Peebles. Once again I'm heartened by the forward thinking and public spiritedness of my fellow citizens. Few of them, I guess, will live to see the wood mature. And yet they obviously think it important enough to give up their time and money to get the project going.
Working in rural Renfrewshire for the next two days. Will take the camera just in case......
