We were very fortunate with the weather,though it was wet early on, the sun came out in the afternoon, so after a yummy lunch of homemade soup and lots of cakes and puddings we were ready for our walk! Though I think maybe with the exception of G, who is a practised walker , my friends will have woken this morning cursing me!! I took them on a walk that I had only partly done before and it went much further round before we could get back again. We saw lovely bluebells on the way, but must have walked 4-5 miles when we eventually reached a point I recognised and poor A was struggling, her wellies had rubbed blisters and so I rang BB and she came and picked up some of us, including the dogs, who were in need of a long drink. G & R did the whole walk. I woke this morning very stiff in the legs and back and think others will be suffering too. So that may be last of the Bluebell Walks, I think they may not want to come again. Though we did have such a good day and lots of laughs, especially when Molly (dog) jumped on the table and started eating the chocolate mousse that G had brought!

The bluebells are beautiful but it sounds a bit far for me!
We used to do a bluebell walk somewhere around Symonds Yat. That was long too, but well worth it. Bluebell woods are so beautiful.
I don't think that I would have laughed if a dog had eaten my share of a chocolate mousse!
Don't give up your bluebell walk- just make it a one way walk with a car or driver arranged ahead of time. It's not much fun when your boots are rubbing.
Elaine, I am so happy to see these beautiful pictures, and very much hope that at some future springtime, I might be able to be in the UK and to see those bluebells with you!

What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. I've never seen so many bluebells - must be another one of those lovely only-in-Britain things!
A great sight!
