Lovely. Blackthorns are lovely but they do have a nasty bite. Great for stock fencing. I wish the Welsh government would start by reinstating the ripped out hedges rather than the 10% woodland. Smashing hedges has ruined the old hedges just leaving the Hazel. I think the Blackthorn has been killed by the slurry or removed as it needs layering. Shame, the old ways were so good for wild life.

It's up to us lot to bring them back.
