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.

Thanks for sharing.

Bluebells make me homesick. We don't have them in our bit of France. We have the wild garlic, the mountains steams, the moss and the rain but not the bluebells. Thank you for the photographs. Jo

What camera are you using? I really like your photos :-)

[Donna]

Hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day this Sunday. Keep giving us inspiration for new crafting. I love all your ideas and you inspire me to create my own. Not as good as yours but I'm trying:> Happy Mom's Day to you dear Lucy.

Harika ve güzel! Bu muhteşem bir yerde yaşıyorum ve çok küçük B. göremiyorum bile .. çok hızlı o kadar biraz büyüyor seviyor gibi görünüyor! LOL! Nerede kahve ve tatlı bir kahvaltı oldu? Onu cevapsız! Ben henüz tadına değil .... görmek yerine portakal çalıştım bu yüzden sadece ben herhangi bir limon yoktu bugün benim ikinci limon gezdirilir pasta yaptım çünkü Ama benimle gurur duyardı ... sana izin vereceğim biliyorum ama ben limon hala benim favori olacaktır eminim. Ailenizle birlikte günün büyük bir dinlenme var.

What a beautiful place

[Sprogmama]

What a gorgeous area you live in, I'm envious! We live in a rural area, but it's pretty much flat arable countryside and I can't think of any where near here that looks as lovely.

just to say thank you for bringing a little sunshine and beauty our way -

I watch to your pictures and I just think you would enjoy very much the place "Huelgoat" in France, in Britany! The place is magic and a scottish women Laura has here a very comfortable guest house. Go and see!

[Helen S]

Lovely photos - do you have a clever camera?

[Claudia]

You're living in a wonderful country! Thank you for the lovely pictures.

[Bari Jo]

These pictures are wonderful! I love the light purple flowers! Thank you for the rose crochet post with pattern and tutorial! I plan to cover a tea cozy I am working on with a garden of the roses and leaves. I hope you got my donation - wish I could take you for a cup of coffee myself! Or have you over for tea here! You have inspired me on my crochet journey as I've been teaching myself to crochet this past year. Thank you for your generous tutorials! They have been so very helpful! Hugs to you, Lucy! Thank you for sharing your talent!

[Samantha]

You live just up the road from me but much more in the countryside and I am very jealous! What a beautiful place. So tranquil and those bluebells are just wonderful.

Thanks for your wonderful post Lucy - made me feel all peaceful inside :)

[Alma]

All I can say is wow! Thank you for taking me on a lovely 39minute ride with you in your nook of the globe. I feel refreshed!

[Jenny]

Beautiful photos Lucy. I love when you take us along outside on your adventures. :)

As I ponder that photo of the stone wall, I find myself wondering: where did they get the stones, how did they get them there, who built it, how did they find stones that were so alike.....Hmmmmm. You live in such a beautiful place.

[idiosyncratic eye]

Ooh, bluebells! Well, whether it's 39 or 41 minutes, you're definitely encouraging us all to make the most of our time, and the short episodes of sunshine. :)

[Stephanie]

Lucy your corner of the world has always been in my heart: I did my MA in York and owned my first car whilst living there so I got the chance to visit many parts of stunning Yorkshire and beyond.

Thank you for sharing your lovely pictures with us all: such joy to be had in this world.

I am very shyly asking you IF you have a moment to have a quick peek at my blog. There is a spring rabbit I have just concocted. I know you are fond of these long-eared creatures and IF you like what you see I would be very happy to make one for your household according to a theme of your choice, perhaps?

[Carmen]

Really beautiful
