Cellpic Sunday: Mossy
Posted on February 4, 2024
Perhaps it’s just my imagination, but there seems to be more moss than usual at this time of year, perhaps accounted for by the very wet winter we’ve had.
Wall topping
Posted on August 10, 2023
We had a wall built across the end of our field so that we could have an enclosed garden. It’s actually made from breeze blocks, but we used some old roof tiles to add interest to the top.
Now that they’ve had ten years or more to weather in, they have acquired some interesting textures and adhesions, and of course the snail (spot the snail) is obligatory.

I found this moss growing on a tree in the Beecraigs Country Park near Linlithgow in central Scotland. The texture (and colour) of the tree bark is also interesting.

It’s only an old gatepost – from a little further along the road that runs through our hamlet – but there’s a lot going on with it.

Two envelopings for the price of one here: moss envelopes the stone of a bridge across the ditch just up the road from here at Tranquility Base, while snow envelops the undergrowth next to it.
Winter Walk
Posted on December 29, 2013
It’s been pleasantly, if unseasonably, warm and sunny lately here at Tranquility Base: perfect weather for a walk along the quiet local roads.
