A thorny problem

Well ... it's all very well wandering about the countryside but there are some things you should know first, like ... is there any safe way to navigate a gorse patch without getting jaggeded?!

"I'd love to see the gorse in bloom again
And in the morning hear the chaffinch sing
And hear the curlew piping in the bog
As carolling skylark towards the cloud world wing."
