Early May

The floor of Hopeward Wood quickly became a carpet of blue as April passed into May and the Bluebells finally came into full bloom.

The efforts over the winter to tidy up the fallen and cut branches that littered the floor of the woodlands meant that now the view was uninterrupted.

Crow Wood too has its Bluebells, mostly on the lower slope of the hill.

This is spectacle to enjoy while it lasts as all too quickly the flowers are finished and the trees cast a dark shade over the woodland floor for the summer.
