First Bluebells

Lovely seven mile walk from Tarrant Gunville to Ashmore for coffee by the pond, sat on the aquafer bench and returned through the bluebell wood. The hint of blue will turn into a carpet over the next few weeks and blend with purple violets and white wood anenomes before the tree canopy closes overhead and blocks out the sunlight. Lots of wildlife and birds around including a herd of deer, buzzards, skylarks and owls. A frosty, cold, sunny day with a moderate and gusty chilly wind, snow showers late afternoon with a pale crimson sunset, still light at 8.15pm.
