Definitely a day for a walk in the woods. Here we are at Westleigh Heights about 25 minutes drive from home and it is another world of acres of ancient woodland.
Bluebells in every direction as for as the eye can see.
The perfume is overwhelming and the interesting thing is that there is no reaction of watery eyes or anything so one can just enjoy breathing in the deep scent.
This is a well managed ancient woodland where everything is left to rot creating a great environment for wildlife as well as giving the soil great nutrients
Added to the pleasure there is a Pub opposite the woods so after our walk Cod & Chips sounded good. First this year.
Mid-afternoon the Pub side is quiet but the restaurant side is very busy
When we arrived it was warm and sunny and this area was busy too but not now as we are leaving. The sun has disappeared and their is a slight chill in the air.
The Pub and Retaurant
and the road home
It's also that time of year when the roadsides are full of
May blossom
Hope you enjoyed your walk. I took over 80 photographs buyt enough here for the post.
