Early bluebells

Today was the day for visiting my old gent and trying to help him think through one or two of the problems that beset him.  But what a dear he is!  However, on the way to his house I did divert to the streamside for a bit of gentle exercise and this is what I saw - bluebells.

Okay, I know they're not English bluebells, just garden escapes, but they're always out here earliest of anywhere round here, on a very steep warm piece of bank about  a foot up from the water.  To me this makes them very special.

I hope you've all had a really happy Wednesday.  It is so good to be blipping again with you all after my enforced week off!  Have a lovely evening  xx
