Topic: Bluebells


Attempting to fix the broken doors to the cupboard I discovered a bag inside that had been put there by person unknown long ago.   I used this for short travel, a day or three away and that sort of thing. 
There has been little in the way of travel, though I did walk around the gardens yesterday.  However, I took the bag down to dust it off and remember how big it actually is.  A small bag, useful for people who work and carry their lunch yet big enough for a day or two away.  I do not carry much and never have.  
There was nothing but dust and a smell of damp inside, often found around me, and these two 'Topic' bars.     
"Lunch!" thought I, but then I decided to look at the date on the back.  
'19/07/15' it read. 
Suddenly I was not so hungry after all.  


If it's Spring then it must be Bluebell time!  
Indeed it is.  Across the world these delightful flowers are appearing en masse in some places.  Here, we have three offering each year, this year I notice they are spreading outwards and little individual Bluebells are cropping up where they are not supposed to crop up.  I let them be!
I finished tidying up the front, not that some would notice, dumping used cardboard into recycling bags in a manner those who dumped the stuff could not work out.  The weeds I pulled yesterday have found a home with the residue of damp cardboard that I also left, all now safely in the wheelie bin to surprise the dustmen next week or so.  
I attempted a picture of the flowers but the phone is not great for pictures, and they are in an awkward spot to try and photograph.  So, I took action and did the correct thing, I left it all and went upstairs for coffee.

Ah, bluebell. I remember them with fondness. My in laws had them in their garden and I always loved them seeing them, if we ever visited in early May. I have a photo of myself on the side of my blog amongst a field of bluebells. It makes me happy just to see that photo.

And you did not even open one of the bars to check....?

Kay, Bluebells are indeed good. Also preserved by Law, it is illegal to pick them.
