In the sunshine.

A sunny morning, and everybody in the village was smiling.
Before I did the Saturday shop I drove up to the beech woods. I thought I would find fresh green emerging beech leaves but I am too early. Even so there was plenty to enjoy, with the sun on mossy logs, wood anemones and violets on the roadside banks (couldn't stop for a blip!) and in a sheltered valley a first glimpse of the magical blue of bluebells, (extra). Not as blue in the photograph as they actually appeared. It does seem very early for bluebells.
