If you venture down this footpath, look out for nettles. I'm not one for walking out in shorts; bare legs don't often go with the British climate; so I'm usually not bothered.
I expect there is a clump of dock leaves growing somewheres about.

our garden is literally swamped with nettles in the winter - they all dispappear after srping, which is when we get swamped by purslane, a lovely watercress-like weed we add to our salads
We take stinging nettles, dehydrated in capsules, for allergies! Around here you must beware of Poison Oak.
ah yes, those are annoying! My son cried so much when he got stung...and the skin didnt retung to normal soon even when we put medication...
'getting nettled' would be so easy!
I don't even know what stinging nettles look like. Sounds nasty though, if you can't wear shorts because of them. And I was going to say that that lane looks like a nice place to take a stroll.
Reminds me of my childhood - getting stung and then looking for dock leaves. I don't believe I've ever seen nettles in the south of France. Too dry, perhaps?
Where there are nettles you'll find dock leaves! Nice photo.
I am not allergic to poison ivy or poison oak but I am allergic to stinging nettles. I shall stay away.
we wear shorts all summer, good job we have no nettles here, too dry.
I'll have to drive a tank through this paticular patch of nettles!
