its become a jungle!!!

Last night I packed a rucksack full of water bottles and took my kids with me to my nature place. (they are 9 and 6 and love the fact one has to evade golfers to reach the place)As soon as we were across the golf course and up the wooded slope i realised how much the foliage grows at this time of year! we had entered a jungle..the path had new bramble shoots reaching across and everywhere the rosebay willowherb had grown pink flowers, that danced in the breeze, the hort breeze, as here in the uk we are in the midst of a heatwave. (hence the water).We slowly made our way thru the barely discernable path, and each side of this narrow route 7 foot high plants, grasses and willowherb towered..it was almost a jungle to me, so to my kids it must have been weird, being down in it, unable to see above it...just endless green with a blue sky overhead.....eventually we reached the circle..nature had encroached, so i cut back a bit and we sat in the warm air, recovering from our jungle odyssey...I unpacked the water bottles and gave sustenance to my blackcurrant bushes, my buddleias, mountain ash sapling, and so on and so on...i could almost hear their delight at receiving water...We didn't stay too long, the kids were too keen to get back to evading golfers..so back thru the jungle we went...until we reached the woods, where we had to hide for a time until 3 golfers had finished their putting, and moved on to the next hole, then, with the speed of rabbits, we darted out of the undergrowth, across the green and thru the hole in the fence...we had done our mission and were all happy, me, the kids, and the few special plants that i watered:)
