Thanks Sarah. The whole area was full of lovely little plants that I didn’t recognise, but which formed the prettiest micro landscape.

🙂 It’s a landscape I’m quite unfamiliar with, but I so enjoyed spending time wandering amongst the rocks, really looking at the huge diversity of plants that were growing.
