We drove over to Foxley Wood for our weekly walk with E. I think we caught the bluebells just in time. Another week and they will be past their best:
It was quite boggy and muddy in places due to the recent thunderstorms. We had to hang onto the posts of electric fences for balance, a bit precarious!
We got back to the car park and sat to eat our lunch. Very pleasant all round. Come next week, we shall be able to share a car which will reduce petrol expences. We have decided we shall continue to wear masks whilst sharing cars, just to be on the safe side.
It's been a really good year for Bluebells hasn't it, we also seem to have the pinker version along our riverbank, they look so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThere is the odd few pink and a few white ones as well.
DeleteWe loved Foxley Wood when we visited 4 years ago. It's definitely the best bluebell wood I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteFor a change, the scent was heavenly. Sometimes the rain washes it away.
DeleteVery pretty...
ReplyDeleteIt was.
DeleteYesterday we walked at w Wherestead wood and the bluebells and birds were heavenly, the wild garlic was perfuming some of the wood and it made a perfect end to a lovely morning. Val. x
ReplyDeleteDB has an app on his phone which identifies bird song so we heard a few new ones.
DeleteThe bluebells look beautiful. What a lovely walk. I'm glad you didn't get a shock!
ReplyDeleteUs too. Had to also balance on logs over deep muddy patches whilst holding on.
DeleteWe went twice to our bluebell wood a couple of weeks ago and it was amazing. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I remember violet woods as a child, don’t seem to see those nowadays.
DeleteIt just have been beautiful. Very nice pictures.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Love most spring flowers but those with a nice scent are truly lovely.
