Just in time......

I think we caught the bluebells just in time today. They were simply beautiful even now. I love the glades in this wood, not too far away from us, and no-one would believe traffic on the M25 thunders along continuously only a little way away.


We enjoyed lunch in the tea room of a B&B in Halstead called Cabbages and Kings. The verse from the poem The Walrus and the Carpenter by Lewis Carroll was printed on the wall of the WC (as it called itself). Great poem! Wikipedia gives a fuller explanation.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
