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!

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).

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.

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!!!!

What lovely boys you have.  That is a super photo!
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age
