It was great to get out again for an early morning walk. Today I went with Belinda on a mission - to find an easily accessible bluebell wood, that would be suitable to take her mother to! As she lives in Wells, we drove to Dulcote and took a bridleway towards the city, until we veered off into woods on the right. There we were rewarded with a result - drifts of bluebells creating areas of beautiful blue/purple haze!
Unfortunately, even on this lovely route, the problems of graffiti and homelessness cannot be escaped. We passed several structures in the woods, that had signs of occupation at sometime. As we passed one (see above top right), we could hear the sounds of someone sleeping inside!
We also passed a Romany travellers camp, complete with horse and traditional gypsy caravan (see above), and in the middle of the woods (see above, middle right), we came across one of the big problems of the countryside today - fly-tipping...
Although the sun wasn't shining, and we haven't had rain for ages, everywhere looked green and lush. It is such a lovely time of year with an array of fresh greens, and the delicate colours of the wild flowers...
