It’s been a pretty poor spring so far with the weather being cold and often very wet. Today, despite the forecast we decided to head out to Badby Wood near Daventry to see the bluebells. Were weren’t disappointed and the damp weather meant that there possible weren’t as many people around as there would have been in bright sunshine.

Here’s a shot of the cathedral-like little valley in the woods, carpeted with bluebells and roofed by the high beams of mature trees with their bright green leaves emerging.
