Welsh Bluebells

One of the things I'd been promising myself was a walk through a bluebell wood I remember from childhood...

Bluebells have always been a favourite of mine. As a child, I recall eagerly looking forward to collecting handfuls to take home to my Mum. Very naughty really, but we didn't know any better 50 years ago... :roll:

I always love the anticipation of seeing the blue carpets among the trees... the dappled light is so appealing too.

I feel sure there were more bluebells here when I was little... perhaps that's just wishful thinking or something...

And you know... I could have sworn the bluebells were more... well... blue... |-|

Oh well, I've had my walk in the bluebell woods. :yes:

I had no idea what bluebells looked like until now! They're more of an indigo colour, aren't they?

  They are... or at least the British variety are... Spanish Bluebells are much paler in colour and spread like wildfire, so having been introduced here are making inroads into our countryside.

Do love the Bluebells this time of year. As I commute into London, I love looking out the window and catching a glipse of the brilliant blues under the dappled shade of the trees.

Oh yeah!

This reminds me of my childhood too. Very care-free and lots of romping through streams and woods and stuff

  Life was so much simpler back then....
  The worst that could happen was to get a boot full of water or a rip in your pants!

I know everyone thinks I'm a bit wacky but can't you just sense the spirits of nature here? Bluebell woods expecially,, lovely, just lovely spring and summer are here but today it's too bloomin hot!

  I don't find that 'wacky' in the least... I often feel a presence when I'm out and about... sometimes the feeling is good, sometimes the feeling is not so good... not evil exactly, but not exactly wholesome either... does that make sense?
  
  Too hot? Not for me....
