bluebell days


I absolutely love bluebells.
And anyone who has been following this blog for a while
will know that popping along to the bluebell woods
is a scheduled in part of Dear Beautiful spring times.


I have so many memories of going to the bluebell woods near my grandparents'
and having such adventures among those beautiful blue flowers.
The first year we took the little man it was practically the end of the season
and the best of the flowers were starting to disappear,
but he still enjoyed his little bluebell walk.
Last year we had a lovely time
watching our two little ones sit in amongst the flowers.
But this year was a full blown proper adventure,
with two independent and inquisitive little people
who loved every second.


I don't think I ever remember seeing the bluebells so abundant and so lush.
They are out a little early this year too, 
so the early spring and mild, wet winter clearly agree with them.
It was like a blanket of blue in places as we went through the wood,
it was simply stunning.

  2. We spent this weekend in Bluebell woods too. It's funny, Katie has a post about a rapeseed field which we also did this weekend. Love the colours in this post. There is something so special about Bluebell woods.

    1. It really was, but as you say it's tough going in a wood with a buggy. x

  10. I love the first couple of them sat together, they look like fairies. If fairies wore such garments as trainers and checked shirts. So cute. We haven't been to the bluebells yet this year, and as we all know it is such a blogger/photographers paradise so we really need to make a trip! ;) x

I not sure if you did it on purpose but I love their coordinating outfits. Adorable. What a lovely lovely moment you have captured of them together. Great place to visit too I am so jealous.
