#45 - Acorns and Shepherds Purse

I was struck by a burst of intense nostalgia when I noticed these little Shepherds Purse plants by the road - I remembered asking my mum what they were called when I was at junior school, they grew along the edge of our school field and we used to collect the little heart-shaped seed pods to play with. It reminded me how you see so much more when you're a child and just how long it's been since I noticed Shepherds Purse. I feel that in doing this blog, in taking the time to really look at everything, I have found something of myself that I lost long ago.
