Damsons at Bilberry Hall  SE 077 219

Blue velvet drupes with a white dusty bloom hang from scrubby hedge shrub

Germinating from a discarded stone years ago finding a favourable niche

Growing in the Quickthorn marking the edge of cleared moorland along the stony track

Some early ripened have become windfalls eaten by birds and insects on the dusty ground

Dry crazed stones adding to the lanes rocky surface

Desiccated skins forming blue petraglyphs on the dark gritstone

Over the dry stone wall Heather and Bilberry are re-claiming the underused pasture

It will soon be back to Greetland Moor, The Black Pasture, reconnected to Norland
