I have been walking the hedgerows over the weekend and discovered this little shape on my dirty boot when I finished my walk today!  Is it a lucky shamrock?  I'm going to take it as that and start the season with "Hedgerow Walks".  January always brings the walkers out but what boring routes they take.  Walking with the hedgerows is inspiring, refreshing and stimulating.  Every month they produce visible changes.  Wildlife and smells vary and the soft land keep your mind and body alert.  I know I am lucky to live on a farm and have hedgerows everywhere but you can find hedgerows in public places as well or why not ask a farmer if you can walk his field - provided there are no animals in it!  Enjoy nature get a REAL pair of walking boots and get out there!
