A Sea of Tiny Blue Faces

This is the Common Field Speedwell which I have allowed to flourish in one area of my garden, it has spread and I have a sea of tiny blue faces of these beautiful little flowers. I have read it is an annual so I hope it will continue to reseed otherwise I will have bare earth because the grass has disappeared where this flower has spread. The advantage for me to have this flowering and spreading is that I have less grass to cut ;-)

My Blog

I have taken the title of my blog from Thomas Hardy's fourth novel 'Far From the Madding Crowd' which he wrote in 1874. He took his title from Thomas Gray's poem 'Elegy written in a Country Churchyard' completed in 1750. Thomas Hardy was born in Dorset where he lived for most of his life and where he based the stories in his novels. The word 'madding' means frenzied and there is a sense of freedom I get being out in the countryside and being close to nature away from the frenzied atmosphere of the towns and cities. I live in Dorset and like Thomas Hardy, it is where I have lived for most of my life, my blog is mostly about nature in Dorset. I am a member of the Dorset Wildlife Trust. I will include my garden and anything of interest about the natural world in Britain.
