Special
This unusual wildflower was identified by myself and a friend as Twiggy Mullein about four years ago and confirmed by an expert from Derby university. It is growing largely unnoticed by most on the disused railway line, its seeds blown along what is effectively a wind tunnel to germinate in the poor soil. There aren't many specimens of this lovely flower to be seen and this is made worse by the ignorance of the local 'rangers' who mow the verges bare without the slightest idea of the destruction they are causing.
Twiggy Mullein grows on only a handful of sites in Leicestershire and is a national rarity.

To the memory of
The memorial clock, dedicated to the memory of Stuart Keates Turner, who died aged 32. I'm sure someone told me that he died in the dentist's chair.
