Chicory Cichorium intybus on the Downs near #CissburyRing considered an occasional archaeotype but these days more likely as planted for feed and cover for game birds or part of set-asides. Whatever origin it is a cheerful blue sight to come across.

Beautiful walk on #CissburyRing
My favourite oak at the top is just starting to turn.
Saw a young girl holding the trunk of another oak saying, ‘I love my tree.’
