Blue is definitely my colour!

Bank Holiday Monday.... always the same dilema, is gonna be rainy or dry?

We decided on Leigh woods this morning... always good rain or shine.  Rufus' new love is his bike.  He has just discovered how to ride it and has such a passion for it he would ride it all day long.

I knew the bluebells would be coming into flower round about now, so when we turned the corner into the drive... wow, a carpet of blue....

Not fully in flower yet, but still a sight to be seen.
I love the woods, it is a special place for us as a family... it always grounds us, brings us back to nature, 're-boots' our souls, puts life into perspective.

We were so excited to get out of the car, wellies on, on bikes and into the bluebells.  The boys were immediately in charge, choosing which mountain bike track to lead us down.  I love this, they take us to parts of the woods I have never been too, always an adventure.

Leigh Woods has a real mix of trees, Oak, Yew, Holly, Sycamore but mainly Beech, which allows the bluebells to thrive beneath the new canopy of papery leaves.

The woods were so green and the bluebells so blue, it was dazzling yet almost blurring... quite hard to discribe.. my mind was being gently fuzzed with the beauty of it all.


Fuzzing green...
We all had a wonderful time, boys were ravenous when we arrived home for lunch...always a good sign!

We heart the woods!
