Churchyards make good informal nature reserves, when not kept too tidy, and it was a pleasant surprise to find wild strawberries growing in an unmown part of this one (in urban Hertford). I have to add that there are people who consider these little berries a great delicacy, but I'm not one of them. I prefer the cultivated kind, warm when freshly picked on a sunny day.
