  The pheasant berry bush is romping away very happily. Just to think that it looked like a few twigs just sticking out of the ground for ages. The leaves shot up in the summer, and now the flowers and berries are showing in the bracts. Spiders are happily nestling in the leaves, waiting for unwary...
