Thirty Nine Minutes.

Hahaha, I confess I laughed to myself when I was looking at these photos earlier, I was really willing the time stamps to show 41 minutes between the first and last picture so that it would be the exact same as yesterday. But I was two minutes short today, darnit.

So this morning saw us head to Bolton Abbey to walk in Strid Wood. It's bluebell time, and I do love to indulge in a little Bluebell Appreciation at this time of year. Everything is looking very beautiful indeed in the woods, the wild garlic is just beginning to flower and the beech trees are tentatively starting to unfurl their incredible bright green leaves. It looks like it'll be another week or two before the canopy is really in full green swing, it seems a little later this year compared to last.

We had a lovely time, the Little People walked and ran and jumped and climbed. They played with sticks, they chased one another, they examined trees and flowers and leaves and insects and birds. J and I strolled along keeping an eye on Little B, but really he didn't need much taking care of. He has heaps of energy, loves being outdoors and is turning into a strong, confident little walker. He was completely blissed with the whole outing, the delight radiated out of him.

I have to say that it was all rather lovely and happy and familyish. It was a beautiful way to spend Sunday morning.

Also beautiful, love the garlic, the bluebells, the moss on the wall and the fern that's ready to unfurl.

Thanks for taking us along!

How lovely! And what good weather we're having for the bank holiday.

I'm reading a correspondance book by The Dutchess of D, (nee Deborah Mitford) where Bolton Abbey has been mentioned a few times today, I love funny coincidences like this! Nice to see some of where I'm reading about. Thank you Lucy.

Love Bluebells and unfurling throngs of fern! Lovely photos - thanks for sharing!

[tizabells]

Oh, you're killing me with these fairy-tale forest scenes! The wilderness is just not so charming in America... here there be monsters!

[cate]

Your photos are so amazing and the scenes so idyllic that I wish I could just climb into to them and enjoy them in person. The woods near us are much denser, like something out of Twilight. Not somewhere you would go for a pleasant walk. Thank you for sharing.

[Annie]

You make me want to live where you do

What a lovely walk, more beautiful photo's Lucy, I love bluebells so pretty :)

I've just been visiting for the first time (all the way from Australia) - You see I went seaching cyberspace for that lovely crocheted bag you made & also put up instruction for..... thankyou, I plan to make one & will post it on my blog once done. Your photos are wonderful, & I checked out the previous walk you did (apparently we have the same rubbish bins here in Australia LOL!!) I will be dropping by again and invite you to come see me in blogland if you would like www.countryfragrance.blogspot.com

Lovely! Me and my family had a similar walk today in a bluebell wood as well! I just love bluebells and I have to go for a bluebell walk every year on my birthday weekend! It's become a tradition!

Where are you getting your sunshine from? And can we have some please?

Two, two beautiful walks for me today compliments of Attic 24.
Thank you for taking us along.

Hello, I live in Brazil and I understand very little English ... The translator is very useful ..
I would just like to congratulate your work ... very beautiful.
I am also a mother of two girls and I dedicate my time solely to my family.

[Sandra Licher]

Wonderful and beautiful! You live in a gorgeous place and even though I can't see much of little B...it seems likes he's growing up a bit too fast! LOL! Where was the coffee and sweet breakfast? I missed it! But you'd be proud of me because I made my second lemon drizzle cake today only I did not have any lemons so I tried oranges instead to see....I haven't tasted it yet...I'll let you know but I'm sure lemon would still be my favorite. Have a great rest of the day with your family.

The colours seem to be really intense this Spring- fabbo.

[Rose]

Isn't it green! I haven't wondered what a bluebell looked like and now I know.

[Shannon]

What a perfect little adventure!

[Sandra]

The bluebells are out here, too. Great Britain and Seattle are on a similar latitude so that really does make sense. So beautiful!

[Lesley]

What a gorgeous little walk you had! It was so rainy here this weekend that would be out of the question. Thanks for sharing such lovely photos.
