It's easy enough to walk past Devon hedge banks covered in moss and forget that they were made by people, until the moss parts and you see the stones peeping out like exposed bones. Great discovery on this morning's dog walk, devil's fingers (Clathrus archeri). Found on the common as if placed there. A good glimpse of the milky way last night. Night, a big moon, mist creeping up the valley.
