Out and About :: Bluebell Time

Hello Lovelies,
one of my absolute favourite times of year is Bluebell time. It's another reason May delights me so.

Last week the walking group went on a "Bluebell Walk".....bliss.
It's a shame the weather was dull....and even more of a shame I managed to forget my Camera.....something I NEVER normally do!

Still, I do have a new phone and thankfully it takes reasonable pictures.

I loved wandering through the woodland, and I was so happy to see our first glimpse of intense blue........

the round thing you can see in the photo is a charcoal kiln.

Gosh I'm rubbish with a touch screen.... :0)



After a while we climbed steeply up through the trees and emerged at this beautiful view.......

It was a perfect place for our coffee stop


 Next the path  descended steeply down again. Into a place known locally as the "Hidden Valley". It was such a pretty spot...........


Then we were back in the most beautiful woodland....where the carpet of blue was truly magical........



And happily I managed to finally take some in focus shots with my phone camera.....



just in time :0)


I went home happy. How I love Bluebell time.

  1. Lovely - I never manage to capture the pictures of bluebells how I see them. Oh well - there is always next year! Looks a lovely walk. x

  2. You weren't kidding about bluebells, were you? Gosh they are cheery!
    Here in southern Australia, our farm paddocks often have a weed called Cape Weed. The flowers, which look like daisies, are wonderful for making chains, but I am unsure what sort of nutritional value there is in the broadleaf.
    I think I'd like paddocks of bluebells better. :)

  3. Absolutely beautiful, what a lovely walk, especially with the bluebell woods. And beautifully photographed, even without your usual camera. CJ xx

  4. What lovely photos (It amazes me how well phone cameras work now! I would be lost without mine as my sieve like brain ensures that I frequently forget my camera!). Spring really is the most wonderful time of year :-)

  5. I love bluebell time too and your photos show just how vibrant a blue they are especially when you see them all en mass like that.

  8. Jacquie, that bluebell wood you all walked through looks as if it appeared from a storybook. I can almost see the elves and fairies. xo

  9. That is absolutely beautiful. I would love to sit on that bench and read a good book, all the while enjoying the bluebells around me.
    Blessings,

  15. There is no better sight than a bluebell wood and your photos really capture how magical the woods can look at this time of the year. What a beautiful walk to undertake but cannot believe you forgot your camera, what a good job you had your phone as a backup. xx

  19. So do I Jacquie, we managed to pop to our local woods and were rewarded with a morning filled with the gorgeous sight and scent of bluebells, wild garlic and blossom. Just a perfect time of year!
