It doesn't matter how optimistic I try to be, when I go for a walk and all I see is this, it's hard.
With no undergrowth, I've been finding small rubbish dumps from previous owners. Some relics go back more than 50 years.
Yes, the bracken is fighting back.
Heavy rain over the past week has washed a lot of ash and leaves into great heaps and lumps everywhere. I'm not sure if this is good or bad. We'll see.
Today I saw a lot of this in different places. I think it's a form of fungus. The orange stuff is spongy and fungus-like.
Not sure if this is normal after a bush fire?
A large tree that has fallen in the past couple of weeks, burned out inside.
This is lovely to see - one of the microclimates of spongy grass and mossy underneath. It's at the base of a gully that funnels a lot of rain through, and when it's really wet, you can see the water running. This is the only area that survived the fire, and is now the first to come back and look really green. Most of the other gullies are also showing signs of green along their bottom areas.
