Wandering with Wren - Bluebell Glory

There was another girl wandering through the bluebells yesterday...

It was Wren of course!

She too enjoyed sitting for a while and just enjoying nature in all its glory.

A Walk in the Woods

The morning was bright with not a soul in sight and although destined for school, she decided to risk giving it a miss in favour of spending time in the Bluebell Woods, for surely that is more important than being stuck inside...where things can stagnate...no scent to arouse the senses and no natural images to stir the mind and its imagination.

She arrives...

What's that?  

She turns to make sure she is not being followed

She listens for a while

It seems it was just the breeze 

and so she continues on

She is mindful how she goes to not crush any Bluebells.

Time to just sit and inhale and to enjoy the scent, sight and sound of being...

...surrounded in a sea of blue.

Her journey continues...

...her imagination works overtime.

She rests against the trunk of a tree

feeling grounded 

and at one with nature

Time to move on

Another tree to climb..

and sit upon.

Just listening and being

Enjoying her time outside.

Peggy Sue loves Bluebells

Although cold today, we ventured out to Ashridge Estate to see the Bluebells...although perhaps a little early we were not disappointed.

Peggy Sue just loved them and couldn't get enough.

They smell divine!

She had even picked something that would 'match' the colour of the Bluebells.

Aren't they wonderful?

A lovely afternoon out.

Meet Penelope Bluebell

During the entire special offer period of 25% off and free postage on the Makies website this blue haired girl kept staring at me....I resisted and resisted until the last day - and pretty much within the last couple of hours and then my resistance was no more and into my basket and through check out she went.

Of course one advantage of buying one of the 'Made for You' Makies is that you don't have to wait the two weeks for them to be printed and delivered, they arrive within a couple of days so by Wednesday she was here.

In her arrival box.

Saying a tentative hello...

Still a little unsure about saying hello...

She doesn't waste time in getting changed.

Within hours though and with a change of clothes, she revealed her name.

Penelope Bluebell!

Playing amongst the bluebells and fallen cherry tree petals.

I think this girl is going to be somewhat of a flower child.
