Bluebell Woods at Yoxall Lodge

The farmer hopes it rains over the next couple of days. "They need a drink of water or they won't last", he told me.

Certainly the bluebells in The Gentle Walk are nearly blooming and there can be few more wonderful sights than traditional English bluebells (including some white or even pink ones). Again I had a choice of blips today. I got fed up of work and went for a relatively short walk - good for the soul.
