Lovely pic, the boys look so happy. Lucky them - my hay fever this week has the worst it has been for many years.

Very clear photo, we used to live very near to a beautiful woodland full of bluebells and we tried to get nice clear photos but never did, there was always something wrong. If there is one thing I would steel is flowers, I love flowers!!!!! I walked in the many areas of woodland around here last year and there was always an abundance of different colours, I also love woodlands. I too get some form of Hayfever, I never seem to pinpoint what it is as sometimes I am OK then I get it really bad, I hate taking anti hisamines as I feel soooooooooooooooooooooooooo tiered on them and just want to sleep but otherwise I have very runny eyes, I would love to know what causes it? Great photo

In the middle of the wood there is a little fairy house, which is why we went. There is a hollow tree that someone has put on a little door. People go there and leave trinkets and things for the fairies. My boys left a wish each. Oliver asked for trunkets of treasure and Harry asked to meet and talk with a fairy! Knowing Harry he was planning to negotiate the number of wishes he could have!
-
i heard that bluebells were disappearing all over scotland and they are quite a rarity now, so, if oy have some space in your garden, chuck some in!!!
-
My eldest daughter, now living in Australia, was obsessed by faerie's, I bought her a book and she was determined to go out on a full moon and see a faerie hill!! I remember as a small child, my granddad used to take me and my brother for a walk in the woods and tell us tales, it has stuck with me all my life, I loved my granddad, a Scots living in Wales. As small children I loved woodland and used to tell faerie stories to my children and I still have strong beliefs regards to faerie trees etc,, I am at home in woodland such wonderful climates, never too hot or too wet or cold.
-
My boys found some marks on a log and were convinced it was fairy footsteps - who am I to argue with them. When we are there they also collect round smooth stones as they believe they are dream stones (stones that hold one good dream each and no bad dreams of course).
-
Who are we to argue the fact!!! I have only just found out that one of my daughters used to talke to someone in the gardne and I knew nothing!!!!
-
When Harry was younger he used to have long conversations with an old woman in his bedroom! He says he hasn't seen her for a while.
-
What a lovely photograph.
-
Lovely pic - and they look like British Bluebells, not the Spanish ones - fantastic!
-
Oh yes none of that continental rubbish! My garden is overrun with Spanish Blubells, very pretty, but would prefer good old English ones so we have to go looking for them!!
-
We went for a nice long walk and enjoyed the local Bluebells and took some photos but I am not able to post them for some reason, I will have another go, it was a bit dull but just right for a walk with the wind blowing thetrees sounded like they were singing!!!!
-
Sounds lovely!
-
What lovely boys you have. That is a super photo!
-
living in Ireland i can tell yea Fairies are not to be taken lightly. many a man has met his maker by cutting down a fairy tree
-
I love trees and always used to take My young children for walks in the woods and tell them fairy stories when they were younger, my pop did that with me and my brother and we loved it, trees do seem to be mystical to me anyway. We have a garden full of Rowan trees and one had a rotton trunk due to me putting an old tree stump next to it ::) anyway, a tree surgeon cut out the rotton side and I feel better now that it is OK and both me and the tree surgeon did not want to harm the tree as I have heard of all the mystical power they suppose to hold, anyway, I love them and they were full of berries last year but Rowan jell appeared to be a bit difficult and fiddley for me, I may try one year.
-
i love this time of year, when the bluebelles are out. It reminds me of long lost weekends when we used to play in the woods, building dens and playing hide and seek etc. we were in north east derbyshire, and the land was part of the rutland estate. 000's of acres of unspoiled english woodland with bluebelles, oaks, rowan, beech, birch and clearings with bracken. they built a bypass through it, which is now self set on the banks with trees and gorse. I was told at a young age to watch out for tramps( which I thought were like wild cave men) and badgers?. if my lad went out all day like we did I'd be worried. wonderfull innoccent times.

Sad really that children hae not the same freedom, are things so different, traffic definately is, I remeber going on a cycle at 10 years old along a main road that is now very fast, I owuld notlet my 10 year old cycle along there. I remember rnning n when the Rag and Bone man came, you could hear him streets away, still shiver at the thought!!!!!
-
hehe lovely photo must get out with my camera soon to take random photos again.
Hope your enjoying you 'hols' Ann
-
I have every intention of letting my children run wild in the wood near my house as long as its drilled into them to stay away from roads and the railway track. I hope I have the courgae to let them go when they are old enough!
-
I was happy when the garden filled with bluebells :)
