I should really have been preparing material for the Grasses, Sedges and Rushes course I am to teach at the weekend (at Blencathra) - Rushes have six perianth parts (like petals) and the capsule splits into three... But instead I drove up the hill beyond Giggleswick- Craven Bank Lane so that I could have a view looking west and so catch the evening sun:
3. Grasses gleamed in the evening sun - maybe held back because growing in ground that had been parched until two days ago

I returned to Booths supermarket at Settle to carry out my original objective - to buy some extra items for the Coffee morning at St John's Church tomorrow.
As I left I noticed -- in the gutter - just by the central pavement
A shoot of Toad Rush...
I had recorded so many weeds of Settle during 2020 - yet never recorded this. I can add it to my "Lockdown Plants of Settle Section" of this blog.
Hurray!
This plant likes damp trackways - yet it has survived here.
And as I look at the picture closely I see it has two green fly on it - even a tiny weed, in a drought - is supporting two other creatures.
Enjoys listening to this music that I was told about today:
