No one likes a place that is a wilderness—an area comprising overgrown grass and brambles.
I enjoy the countryside sufficiently to know that brambles and bracken are desirable rather than otherwise.
They have brambles and bracken, and the ecological system is perfectly capable of dealing with anything that any dogs may leave behind.
What is the fun of picking brambles unless one gets scratched at times; indeed, would there be any brambles if the scrub of which they are part was destroyed?
Then there is land which is covered with thick thorns, brambles, sorrel, moss and weeds where once corn grew, as you can see from the marks of the furrows.
In this situation, the safety aspect has been infringed, as brambles and undergrowth have gone, allowing more children access to the railway lines, which we want to keep them off.
Thus, fear forces it through brambles.
I now have one or two brambles.
