The colour of a rich acer, the warmth of colour contrasts with the winds and chill of autumn. The time to hygge and hunker down. To conserve energy. To rest. Slow and wonder at natures palette and resilience.

Calls of meadow pipits and wrens the only sound on the wind.The small brown bird, the Meadow Pipit (amber-listed for their scarcity), is mainly unnoticed until it flicks away and sits on a wall top or fence post and looks back. When I got to Sycamore Gap a comparison occurred to me. The Roman wall is a legacy of invasion. The sycamore is a species native to central, eastern and southern Europe, possibly introduced by the Romans or later in Tudor times – another invader. The sycamore tree is now only a stump, all that remains of a once iconic tree that gave its name to this part of Hadrian’s Wall – Sycamore Gap. Well, it’s a gap now, for sure. However, to the rear of the wall and behind where the sycamore tree once grew, is a weather-sculpted hawthorn. A native tree that has recolonised and taken back its land. I smiled at the irony of the situation Maybe we should call it Hawthorn Gap?
