There is no beauty to compare to the sight of a dell of bluebells. One of the greatest treasures of Spring.
One of my favourite books,
I capture the Castle was adapted for TV and I always remember the line. "Do you smell Bluebells, Rose?"
"I smell heaven!"
And today, for the first time, my mother and I smelt that scent- who could not, surrounded by all these exquisite flowers!
They stretched in all directions- beautiful proud, yet humble simultaneously.
The carpet of blue is just astounding and I felt it was such a privilege to be there to see them. Only the 3rd time in my adult life I have seen such a sight.
There may be a massive collection of photos here but each flower deserves its chance to shine, to be appreciated, to be swooned over and to enrapture your day.
Up close, you see their delicate beauty- that exquisite bell shape- a soft ringing in silence.
And collectively, a carpet of blue fit for a king.
Enjoy the rest, without my wittering. There is nowhere else in the world that has our English Bluebells and we must protect them.
