A small sampling of yesterdays images. The weather was crappy and I didn't have a lot of time... but
The Wild Service Tree is a relatively rare tree that grows across Europe. Its also known as the Cheques Tree, possibly because of the chequered pattern of its flakey bark, and its small round fruits are also known as chequers. Apparently chequers taste a bit like dates but they're hard work to collect and not so easy to eat. However, before the introduction of hops in the 15th century, chequers were used to flavour beer, which gives rise to the number of pubs called 'The Chequers' (although many pubs have forgotten this and display pub signs showing chequered flags and jousting motifs).
