well we were at RL at the weekend but I reckon we were 1-2 weeks early for the bluebell display proper - there was the odd one blooming but I think they were the prelude.

Global warming not affecting North Nothumberland obviously ;)

Bluebells finally looked them up, Shakespeare got them mixed up as well and called them 'azur'd harebell', and also in Scotland harebells were called bluebells.. down in the south you can call them Granfer Griggles, single gussies, goosey-gander or crow picker to name but a few.. Welsh; croeso-haf (welcome summer) and glas y llwyn (blue of the wood), sad that we reduce language to its standard format...
