Bill the bluebell is sad as there are no others near him 😔

What he doesn’t know is that hundreds of seeds have been spread all around in the last three years, and hopefully within two more at the most he will be surrounded 💜

One big Spring party going on here 🥳

All are English bluebells - Hyacinthoides non-scripta 🤗💜

Well, you are just showing off now 🙄

At dusk I sat at this spot motionless, whilst I watched a big eared chum use the bunny highway

(The paths are laid on them so not to lose bluebells)

He continued his slow journey until realising I was about ten feet in front of him before exiting stage left. A great memory

Ancient Woodland isn’t just about the trees, it’s also the extraordinary soil that has been undisturbed possibly since the last ice age

The Big Sister - Bellbrook, Ohio, United States

A White Oak (Quercus Alba). The last of the ‘3 Sisters’ that once stood here

It is estimated that the tree germinated in about 1440, so older than the whole history of European North America

We can find our woodland with our eyes closed today

Bluebell’s Sir, thousands of em 💜

How a senior government minister loses integrity in plain sight ⬇️

He isn’t going to say yes, but cannot find it within himself to say no and why, in public.

Your silence is deafening Michael Gove

They danced together for 150 years, but he will always be by her side 🌳🌲💔

The Wye Oak - Wye Mills, Maryland

The largest white oak in the US until it fell in a storm in 2002. Witnessed the whole history of European North America

The number of bells increase with maturity as the bluebell bulb & root system increases in size to manage the additional load

It takes up to five years for a seed to transform into a bulb even before the first flower appears

Sitting here, listening to the birds serenade the bluebells as they grow, while a fallow deer stag watches me intently in the trees ahead.

Those who know me know I need this now. It is the most glorious feeling
