Bit impetuous last night, after work at 8pm I made the Ladyfriend come with me to a huge bluebell wood. I am determined to win the Countryfile photography competition this year and with the correct lighting I thought I'd have it in the bag with the bluebells. Unfortunately in the time it took us to get there it had turned very murky so it's back to the drawing board.
Fantastic sight though, it's more than a carpet of bluebells, it's a huge expanse. The scent was incredible, a pheasant was walking through, geese were barking in the distance it was a magic moment.
The ladyfriend jumped out of her skin when we heard a gunshot "Bloodbath in bluebell wood" ran the headline but we were quite safe beneath the canopy of trees. I shall show you my bucolic snaps later this week.
