THE WORLD THIS WEEK
Why we have no mow May in a Country Churchyard for years a weekly visit from a 30-horsepower tractor mower kept God’s Acre short as a skinhead’s scalp. This year, though, the mower has fallen silent, and the churchyard has become one of Britain’s rarest habitats – an ancient meadow in flower.
Every week brings a new species. From where we keep our recycling bins, buttercups can be seen lapping against the gravestones and the white clouds of Queen Anne’s lace drifting out from the hedges; but it’s only when you actually get into the churchyard that you notice pignut, stitchwort and bush vetch blooming at the foot of each stone, and the bugle blowing in the areas of shorter grass. You must be on your knees in the oldest part of the graveyard to be surprised by the scent of honey rising from the lemon drifts of crosswort. All this flourishing flora draws the pollinators: bees, butterflies and moths dance between the gravestones as they flit from bloom to bloom. What was dead is now alive.
