Thanks for the welcome lannerman. I think it's taken advantage of my clearance of a patch of the slope as it hasn't spread back over the crown and can't move out through the wall of nettles and brambles where my clearance ends. Once everything grows back up then it'll probably lose it's window of opportunity. That's the hope anyway.
I was driving down to Newquay recently for work and really enjoyed the great banks of Foxgloves you have. Stunning colour.
