OH, Paul, keeps the verge alongside our road cut for the mums and kiddies walking to school (plus he's slightly OCD about order 
).
The adjoining hedge is full of prickly things too. He scrabbles about under the hawthorn and other hedges keeping the couch grass and other weeds at bay. He is also on anticoagulation. So when he is scrabbling anywhere he inevitability gets stabbed by thorns and spikes which draw profuse blood andcause bruises.
He's bought himself a kevlar forearm protector. It looks daft but might keep the blood at bay
