| On our way from school in spring, a favourite pastime was to set fire to clumps of furze that grew in fields along the road. |
| There is something a little sinister about it, amid that green and fecund landscape, with its skirting of pine and silver birch and the furze and bracken above. |
| Which I cannot say, at all, for the lazy piece of under-the-sofa furze which was My Worst Job. |
| The creamy white hawthorn blossom puts on a spectacular show and woodland bluebells and yellow furze bushes give us a dazzling display of colour. |
| The droplets of dew hung from the yellow furze and they glistened like a thousand diamonds. |
| People pull up in their cars, run behind the furze and dump everything out of sight. |
